About this map

Tupelo and Weldon serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape within Jackson County, where the low-lying terrain is defined by a complex drainage network. The Cache River meanders through the eastern portion of the map, while artificial and natural waterways like Overcup Ditch, Overcup Slough, and Eight Mile Creek emphasize the historical effort to manage the local water table for farming. The topographic elevation remains remarkably consistent across the quadrangle, with Bowen Ridge providing one of the few subtle rises in the land.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds scattered among the fields, including Briar Fork Cemetery, Mt Zion Cemetery, and Gourdneck Cemetery. These sites, along with the cluster of named settlements such as Shoffner and Blackville, indicate long-standing community centers. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Breckenridge Airport in the southeast, situated near the intersection of Ar 17 and Ar 37.
