2024 Map of Walnut

About this map

Walnut serves as the central hub of this North Mississippi landscape, situated just south of the Tennessee border where the Holly Springs National Forest begins to shape the western terrain. The geography is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including Hurricane Creek and Muddy Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of small communities and family burial grounds. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries such as Mount Moriah Cem, Alexander Cemetary, and Smyrna Cem, indicating a long-settled rural population and providing a vital resource for genealogical research in Tippah County.
