2018 Map of Verona

About this map

The Private John Allen National Fish Hatchery occupies a significant footprint in the northern portion of this Lee County landscape, situated just north of the growing city of Tupelo. The area is characterized by a mix of educational hubs, including the University of Mississippi Tupelo and Itawamba Community College, alongside established residential and industrial corridors. The Kansas City Southern railroad serves as a central spine through the region, connecting the primary settlements of Verona, Plantersville, and Shannon. South of these larger centers, the terrain transitions into more rural agricultural lands punctuated by small settlements like Brewer, Old Union, and Union. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds throughout the countryside, ranging from the Williams-Hill Family Cem to the English Family Cem, preserving the heritage of local family landholdings.
