About this map

Walnut and the surrounding borderlands of Tippah County, Mississippi, are depicted here in detail alongside the Tennessee state line. This rural landscape is defined by its deep genealogical roots, with more than a dozen burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including New Salem Cem, Enon Cem, and Smyrna Cem. The southern reach of the Holly Springs National Forest covers the western portion of the quadrangle, surrounding Muddy Lake and the headwaters of several creek systems.

Transport and settlement patterns follow the ridges and valleys between Hurricane Cr and Muddy Creek. Small communities like Tiplersville and Brownfield serve as local hubs, while the grid of county roads, such as AntioCH Rd and Richardson Rd, connects isolated family homesteads and farms. The map documents a landscape where the natural hydrology of the S Br Hurricane Cr and Turkey Cr continues to shape the placement of rural infrastructure.
