About this map

Vardaman serves as the focal point for this rural pocket of Mississippi during the early 1970s, situated near the boundary where Calhoun Co and Chickasaw Co meet. The landscape is defined by its numerous rural congregations and community centers, including Poplar Springs Ch, Georgies Chapel, and Mt Herman Ch. The terrain is drained by a dense network of waterways like Cane Creek and Hurricane Creek, while industry is represented by scattered Sandpits and a prominent Water Tank in the town center.

Local navigation and topography are marked by landmarks such as the Reid Lookout Tower and the small settlement at Loyd. The distribution of Cem and New Liberty Ch provides essential data for genealogists tracing family histories in the area. The map illustrates a transitional period of rural development, where traditional agricultural patterns persist alongside the established corridors of Walnut Creek and Lick Creek.
