2012 Map of Turon

About this map

Turon and Parham anchor this rural landscape in Monroe County, where the topography is defined by the winding paths of Bull Mountain Cr and Splunge Cr. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to family-named landmarks and local infrastructure, such as Rye Field Airport and the Splunge Lookout Tower. A dense concentration of country burial grounds, including Springfield Cem, New Hope Cem, and Dyer Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who settled this corner of Mississippi. Roads like Old Aberdeen-Russeville Rd and Jug Shop Rd hint at historic transit routes between early community centers. The map shows a region shaped by its numerous smaller tributaries, like Hadaway Cr and Section Cr, which continue to dictate the placement of rural residences and small hamlets like Bristow and Riggins.
