2017 Map of Tupelo

About this map

Tupelo and its surrounding agricultural lowlands are defined by the winding course of the Cache River and an intricate network of drainage features like Overcup Ditch and Overcup Slough. The landscape is a mosaic of cultivated fields and wooded wetlands, characteristic of this region's alluvial geography. Local transit is rooted in the section line roads, including Jackson Road 21 and Straight Rd, which connect small hubs such as Weldon, Shoffner, and Blackville. For researchers, the map provides a clear look at local landmarks and family history sites, including the Breckenridge Airport and several rural burial grounds like Mount Zion Cem and Gourdneck Cem. Notable terrain features such as Bowen Ridge rise subtly above the surrounding bottomlands, while the Eight Mile Cr adds to the complex hydrology of the area.
