About this map

Thomastown and the surrounding rural landscapes of Leake County are defined by a complex network of tributaries feeding the Yockanookany River, which meanders through the eastern half of the map. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where local genealogy is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Kernop Family Cem, Adcock Family Cem, and Kirkwood Cem. The presence of both the Thomastown Christian Cem and Thomastown Baptist Cem suggests a long-standing community core centered on these institutions.

The natural topography is punctuated by the Government Hills in the southeast and drained by numerous named waterways including Blailock Cr, Myric Cr, and Ninemile Creek. The Natchez Trace Parkway serves as a modern thoroughfare, cutting north-south through the center of the terrain and linking the small settlements of Thomastown and Saint Ann. The map's detailed road network, from Old Pickens Rd to Damascus Church Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of this central Mississippi countryside.
