About this map

Tupelo and its southern neighbors anchor this modern topographic view of the Lee County landscape, where urban expansion meets the established rural communities of Verona, Plantersville, and Shannon. Educational hubs like the University of Mississippi - Tupelo and the Itawamba Community College - Tupelo Campus define the northern corridor. The terrain is deeply tied to the network of waterways flowing toward the Town Creek valley, including Coonewah Cr and Carmichael Cr.

Family history is preserved in numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the Williams-Hill Family Cem, English Family Cem, and the historic Old Chapel Cem. These sites, alongside larger memorials like Lee Memorial Park, provide a clear record of local settlement patterns from the communities of Old Union to Brewer. The map documents a landscape of small lakes, including Borden Lake and Barley Lake, nestled among a dense grid of county roads and state park routes.
