About this map

The Mississippi-Louisiana borderlands in southern Walthall County are defined here by a network of creek drainages and multigenerational family settlements. Near the state line, the Bayou Beth State Line Cem and Old State Line Cem sit just north of the Mississippi-Louisiana boundary, serving the rural communities of Kirklin and Davo. The landscape is etched by the West Fork Pushepatapa Creek and East Fork Pushepatapa Creek, which dictate the winding paths of local routes like Kirklin Rd and Airline Hwy. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, including the Elisha Crawford Holmes Cem, Jessie C Fortenberry Cem, and the Sam McKenzie Cem, reflecting the deep roots of the area's early residents. These landmarks and the scattered clusters of houses at Flowers and Tylertown reveal a quiet, decentralized rural economy centered on the creek forks.
