2021 Map of Tillatoba

About this map

Tillatoba anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the Holly Springs National Forest meets a network of creeks and small settlements. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Tillatoba Creek and its South Fork, alongside Ascalmore Creek which feeds into Lake Ascalmore. This geography has long dictated the placement of rural communities like Paul and Rosebloom, which sit along the transition between Tallahatchie and Grenada counties. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cemetery, Chestnut Grove Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery, offering a detailed view of the region's genealogical footprint. Roads like Murphreesboro Road and Holland-Tillatoba Road link these scattered points of interest, tracing the path of local commerce and community through the wooded and agricultural lands of north-central Mississippi.
