About this map

Tomnolen and Wood Springs anchor this detailed study of the north-central Mississippi landscape along the border of Webster and Choctaw Counties. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Big Black River, which has been heavily modified with engineering features like the Big Black River Canal and the Short Canal to manage the bottomlands. To the south, the Big Bywy Ditch and its tributaries, including Middle Bywy Cr, further illustrate the extensive hydrological management of this agricultural and timber region.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Wood Springs Cem, Bankston Cem, and Providence Cem. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Natchez Trace Parkway, a historic corridor that winds past landmarks such as Little Mtn and Pilgrims Rest Cem. The road network, including Old Hwy 82 and Greensboro Rd, reflects the long-established transit patterns of these small rural communities.
