2018 Map of Turon

About this map

Bull Mountain Creek and its southern tributaries define the topography along the Itawamba and Monroe County line. This rural corridor is anchored by the small settlements of Turon and Parham, where the landscape is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds. These sites, including Wylie Cem, Springfield Cem, and Silome Cem, provide a valuable spatial record of the area's early families. The network of local roads like Sams Sawmill Rd and Jug Shop Rd suggests a history of local timbering and small-scale industry. From the creek bottoms of Hadaway Cr to the reaches of Splunge Cr, the map detail captures the intersection of agricultural land and the watershed's natural drainage patterns.
