2018 Map of Tishomingo

About this map

Tishomingo and Paden anchor this 2018 survey of the Mississippi-Alabama borderlands, where the Tennessee Valley Divide splits the local drainage. To the south, the Natchez Trace Parkway winds through the hills near the settlement of Mingo, passing through a landscape defined by water sources like Jackson Spring and Cave Spring. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds and rural churches such as Boggs Chapel Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Spring Hill Cem near Midway. Natural features like the complex tributaries of Cripple Deer Cr and Bear Creek are mapped alongside cultural landmarks like Bruton Mound. This documentation of the Tishomingo County and Colbert County line reveals the intersection of modern transit and longstanding rural communities.
