2020 Map of Union West

About this map

Neshoba and Union anchor the northeastern landscape of this Mississippi region where the boundary between Neshoba Co and Newton Co divides the terrain. The area is defined by a dendritic network of watercourses, including the headwaters of Chunky Cr and the winding paths of Sipsey Cr and Little Sipsey Cr. Small settlements like Dover, Barfoot, and Lucern are scattered throughout the countryside, often centered around rural crossroads and family-named landmarks. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Neshoba Cem, Beech Springs Cem, and Abney Cem, which sit alongside a complex grid of county roads. The southern portion of the map shows the community of Stratton and the various branches of Okahatta Cr, illustrating a predominantly agricultural and timber-focused landscape that has maintained its rural character into the twenty-first century.
