About this map

Tomnolen and Wood Springs anchor this portion of the Mississippi landscape along the border of Webster and Choctaw Counties. The terrain is defined by the managed water systems of the Big Black River Canal and the Big Bywy Ditch, which dominate the northern and central sections of the sheet. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural winding paths of Jenkins Cr and Baptism Br, illustrating decades of efforts to control the local watershed for agricultural and community stability.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered throughout the rural landscape, including Bankston Cem, Providence Cem, and the Wood Springs Cem near the town center. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is bisected by the Natchez Trace Parkway, which passes landmarks like Little Mtn and the Pilgrims Rest Cem. This modern survey preserves the locations of numerous historic family and community sites that remain vital to the region's heritage.
