About this map

Thomastown and the surrounding central Mississippi countryside are defined by a network of creek drainages and a legacy of rural community centers. The Yockanookany River flows along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while smaller waterways like Blailock Cr, Myric Cr, and Ninemile Cr carve through the landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates a settlement pattern rooted in local faith and family, evidenced by the concentration of cemeteries such as Thomastown Christian Cem, Thomastown Baptist Cem, and Damascus Cem.

The southwestern portion of the map is marked by the Natchez Trace Pkwy, which traverses the region near the small community of Saint Ann. The road network, including Center Mill RD and Old Pickens RD, connects these scattered homesteads and churchyards. This map provides a detailed view of the rural landscape before more modern developments altered the character of these historic Leake County communities.
