2015 Map of Vaughan

About this map

The Big Black River forms a natural boundary between Yazoo and Madison counties in this central Mississippi landscape. The settlement of Vaughan sits near the center of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural territory, while the community of Deasonville is located further west along Vaughan Rd. This area is characterized by an extensive network of creeks, including Vaughan Cr, Lock Cr, and Big Cypress Cr, which drain the varied terrain. Numerous family and community cemeteries are scattered throughout the region, such as the Strangers Home Cem, Peaster Cem, and the Tucker Family Cem. These sites, along with established roads like Butler Rd and Upshaw Rd, suggest a long-standing pattern of rural habitation and family-centered landownership that has persisted into the 21st century.
