About this map

The Hatchie River meanders through this portion of Lauderdale County, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes such as Horseshoe Lake, Round Hole Lake, and Chaney Lake. The terrain is characterized by these active and former river channels, including the Bond Cutoff Lake near the Cannon Lake Dam. Settlement is largely concentrated along higher ground, connected by rural routes like Van Buren Rd and Bono Ferry Rd, which cross the numerous drainage systems of Lagoon Creek and Cypress Creek.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites well-documented, including Saint Peters Cemetery, Estes Cemetery, and the Macedonia Mercer Cemetery. The small settlement of Turnpike sits near its namesake Turnpike Cemetery, serving as a focal point for the local road network. This survey captures the rural landscape at a time when traditional land divisions and waterway-dependent infrastructure, such as the Double Basin Cypress Creek confluence, remain central to the region's geography.
