About this map

The town of Walnut serves as the central hub of this north Mississippi landscape, positioned just south of the Tennessee state line where it meets Brownfield. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Hurricane Cr, Muddy Creek, and Bluff Cr that carve through the hills near Mount Moriah. This area is rich with family and community history, evidenced by numerous rural burial grounds like Mount Hebron Cem, New Salem Cem, and Enon Cem that dot the countryside between small settlements.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Tiplersville sits near the headwaters of Spicewood Cr, while the western edge is dominated by the protected lands of the Holly Springs National Forest. The map documents a landscape of small-scale water bodies like Oak Grove Lake and Muddy Lake, interconnected by a web of county roads such as Co RD 110 and CR-308 that link the scattered homesteads and timberlands of Tippah County.
