2012 Map of Tishomingo

About this map

Tishomingo serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Mississippi, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Cripple Deer Cr and its many tributaries. The area is dense with small, family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Spring Hill Cem near Midway and Hodge Cem to the south. The presence of Bruton Mound and the Natchez Trace Monument speaks to the deep human history of the region, marking layers of occupation from early indigenous periods through the pioneer era. Small communities like Mingo and Petertown are connected by a network of county roads that follow the ridges above local waters like Bear Cr and Trigger Br. The density of cemeteries, including Bethlehem Cem and Paradise Cem, provides a detailed record for those tracing local family lineages in this rural Mississippi landscape.
