2024 Map of Terrys Creek

About this map

Family burial grounds and rural Baptist heritage characterize this pocket of the Piney Woods along the Amite and Pike line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Tickfaw River and Terrys Creek, which carve through the terrain alongside an extensive network of family-named roads like Mikon Rd and Smiley Honea Rd. At the center of local social history stands the Terry's Creek Missionary Baptist Church Cem, a landmark for the small settlement of Terrys Creek. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, documenting over twenty distinct burial sites ranging from the Hampton Wall Cem in the south to the Quin Cem near the northern boundary. These small, scattered plots like the McDaniel McElveen Cem and Simpson Raborn Cem provide evidence of early farmstead locations and established family lineages in this rural Mississippi community.
