2020 Map of Vaughan

About this map

Vaughan and Deasonville anchor this Yazoo County landscape where the Big Black River forms a winding southern boundary with Madison County. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, providing significant value for genealogists tracking family names through landmarks like Tucker Family Cem, Strangers Home Cem, and Peaster Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Big Cypress Cr, Ellison Cr, and Vaughan Cr, which flow through the lowland basins between local ridges. A distinct rural road network, including the historic routes of Vaughan Rd and McCullough Rd, connects these scattered settlements and cemeteries to the larger river system. The presence of Blanden Spr in the northeast corner further illustrates the importance of natural water sources to the area's development and historical settlement patterns.
