2015 Map of Walnut Lake

About this map

Gerlach Mill and the banks of the Coldwater River anchor the southern reaches of this Northwest Mississippi landscape, where the flat alluvial plain is etched by an intricate network of bayous and oxbow lakes. The settlement pattern is defined by rural crossroads and family-named landmarks, such as the small community of Pink and the cluster of homes at Dubbs. The area is notably dense with cemetery sites, reflecting a deep-rooted local genealogy through Daygo Cem, Phillips Cem, and New Baptist Cem.
