About this map

Tupelo National Battlefield and the Chickasaw Village Site anchor the historic landscape of this Lee County region, which reflects a complex layer of indigenous history and Civil War memory. The urban core of Tupelo is shown in detail, featuring landmarks like the Courthouse, Glenwood Cem, and the Pentecostal Bible Inst. Development extends along the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor, reaching north toward Saltillo and the high ground of Birmingham Ridge.

Water management and recreation are central to the terrain, from the large expanse of Elvis Presley Lake to the meandering courses of Euclautubba Creek and Town Creek. The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts diagonally through the sheet, passing a Fish Hatchery and numerous rural congregations such as Bethany Ch and Beulah Ch. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including the Confederate Cem and Rains-Creely Cem, alongside established neighborhoods like Flowerdale and Indian Hills.
