2020 Map of Terrys Creek

About this map

Terrys Creek sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Amite and Pike Counties, where the drainage systems of the Tickfaw River and Terrys Creek define the local topography. This region is remarkably dense with family burial grounds, reflecting generations of deep-rooted settlement across the south Mississippi piney woods. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of historical markers, from the Terrys Creek Missionary Baptist Church Cem to smaller family plots like the Simpson Raborn Cem, Newman-Phillips Cem, and the Hampton Wall Cem. The area is interlaced with rural routes such as Hamp Lea Rd and Grange Hall Rd, which connect these small family enclaves. Water features like Alford Lake and numerous branches, including Easley Br and Friday Cr, underscore the creek-bottom character of the terrain during the early 21st century.
