2024 Map of Troy

About this map

Old Houlka and the surrounding woodlands of the Tombigbee National Forest define this portion of the northern Mississippi landscape. The terrain is marked by the prominent Pontotoc Ridge in the northwest, which gives way to a complex network of waterways including Chuquatonchee Creek and Houlka Creek. A significant recreational and geographical anchor is Davis Lake, which sits near the convergence of numerous county roads and forest tracks. Several small rural settlements like Troy and Goodford are mapped alongside family and community landmarks such as Rose Hill Cem and Bluff Springs Cem. The presence of Natchez Trace Parkway cutting through the southeast corner suggests the area's role as a transit corridor, balancing forest management, small-scale agriculture, and historical settlement patterns that follow the creek valleys.
