2015 Map of Troy

About this map

Tombigbee National Forest dominates the central landscape of this survey, where the winding waters of Chuquatonchee Creek and the recreational basin of Davis Lake define the terrain. The map follows the historical Natchez Trace Parkway as it cuts through the eastern portion, marking an ancient corridor of travel across northern Mississippi. Small communities like Troy and Goodford are situated along the elevated Pontotoc Ridge, reflecting the region's traditional upland settlement patterns. This area is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Rose Hill Cem near Old Houlka, and the Bluff Springs Cem tucked away in the forest. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Mill Creek, Little Cr, and Owl Cr carving through the wooded hills and providing a look at the local hydrology before it feeds into the larger river systems to the south.
