About this map

Pontotoc Ridge dominates the northwestern landscape of this Northeast Mississippi survey, overlooking a network of creeks and small family settlements. The community of Goodford sits centrally at a crossroads, while the settlement of Troy occupies the northeastern corner of the sheet. The terrain transitions south into the heavily wooded acreage of the Tombigbee National Forest, where Davis Lake serves as a significant hydrologic feature.

For researchers, the map provides a look at the rural character of the Pontotoc and Chickasaw County line. The distribution of small burial grounds, including Falkner Cem, Halsey Cem, and Bluff Springs Cem, highlights the area's genealogical depth. Numerous watercourses like Chuquatonchee Cr and Owl Cr carve through the ridges, defining the historical boundaries and agricultural limits of the region before it meets the Natchez Trace Parkway in the southeast.
