About this map

Tupelo and its surrounding Lee County landscape appear in this 1990s record of urban expansion and preserved history. The city's core is detailed with civic landmarks like the Courthouse and Tupelo City Hall, while the western edge is anchored by the Tupelo National Battlefield and the Chickasaw Village Site, reflecting layers of conflict and settlement. The Natchez Trace Parkway carves a diagonal path across the terrain, passing the Old Town Overlook and the Beech Springs community.

Water and recreation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the broad reach of Elvis Presley Lake and smaller bodies like Lake Sequoyah and Lake Piomingo. To the north, the town of Saltillo sits near the Confederate Cem, while rural life continues along Birmingham Ridge. The map documents numerous local institutions, from the Pentecostal Bible Inst to neighborhood schools like Milam Jr High Sch, providing a clear view of the region's social and geographic structure before the turn of the millennium.
