2024 Map of Tocowa

About this map

Tocowa lies at the heart of this landscape where the Little Tallahatchie River and the Yocona River converge near the boundary of Panola and Tallahatchie Counties. The map reveals a complex drainage system, including the Old Yocona River and several smaller tributaries such as Shelton Creek and Buntyn Creek. This 2024 survey documents the persistence of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Whitten Cem in the north to Jackson Cem and Center Hill Cem further south. The road network, featuring names like Yocona Gin Rd and Maggie Hill Rd, reflects the agricultural history of the region. The map provides a contemporary record of how these historical waterways and local roads continue to define the geography of northern Mississippi, capturing the intersection of the state's significant river systems within a predominantly rural setting.
