About this map

Sweatman and the rural hills of north-central Mississippi define this 1980s landscape at the junction of Grenada, Montgomery, Webster, and Calhoun counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure. Notable landmarks include Providence Ch and its cemetery, Blackjack Ch, and Center Hill Ch, which serve as focal points for the dispersed settlements of Misterton and Redding.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by winding waterways such as Bogue Creek, Butputter Creek, and Little Mouse Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of early family histories is preserved in labels like Wells Cem, Dunn Cem, and the Cox and Carver Cem near the Montgomery and Webster county line. This survey captures a moment when small hamlets like Alva remained distinct landmarks along the rural road network before modern consolidation changed the local landscape.
