About this map

The Tupelo National Battlefield anchors the southwestern corner of this modern survey, marking the site of significant Civil War conflict amidst the expanding suburban landscape of Tupelo. This Lee County corridor shows the dense intersection of modern infrastructure and deep-rooted community markers, from the Kansas City Southern railroad line to a high concentration of ancestral burial grounds. To the north, the terrain transitions through Devils Backbone toward Saltillo, while residential developments like Indian Hills and Skyline illustrate the region's contemporary growth.

Water systems define the eastern reaches of the map, where Lake Sequoyah and Lake Piomingo provide recreation and drainage into the Tulip Cr watershed. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family landmarks, including the Bolen Family Cem, Clanton-Price Family Cem, and Rains-Creely Family Cem, which remain preserved even as the surrounding neighborhoods of Beech Springs and Flower dale continue to evolve.
