About this map

Tombigbee National Forest dominates this landscape on the Pontotoc and Chickasaw County border, where the headwaters of Chuquatonchee Creek and Owl Creek carve through the terrain. The presence of the Owl Creek Indian Mounds near the Natzhez Trace Parkway points to a long history of human activity preceding the late-twentieth-century rural settlements.

The map reveals a dense network of country churches and family cemeteries that anchor the local community, from Toxish Ch in the north to Friendship Ch near the southern border. The transition between the older settlement of Old Houlka and the surrounding timberlands is punctuated by water features like Davis Lake and Little Owl Lake. This documentation captures the area at the turn of the millennium, showing a landscape defined by the stewardship of the Forest Service and the preservation of its archaeological and spiritual landmarks.
