About this map

Tupelo sits at the intersection of local routes like Old State Hwy 3 and 7th Ave, serving as the primary hub in this Coal County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of water management sites, with numerous numbered reservoirs such as Upper Clear Boggy Cr Site 54 Reservoir and Upper Clear Boggy Cr Site 1 Reservoir dotting the drainages of Clear Boggy Cr and Goose Cr. These engineered features suggest a landscape heavily modified for flood control or agricultural irrigation.

Genealogical interest is centered on several burial grounds, including Byrds Prairie Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Wilson Cem, which are scattered among the section-line roads. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Jack Hills, while the presence of the Clarita Oil and Gas Field indicates the ongoing importance of the energy industry to the local economy. The grid of rural roads like E1670 Rd and N1720 Rd provides a clear framework for tracing property boundaries and family homesteads.
