About this map

Walnut serves as the primary hub of this northern Mississippi landscape, situated at the intersection of the Gulf Mobile And Ohio and Illinois Central railroads. This 1982 map highlights a region where the western reaches of the Holly Springs National Forest meet an active agricultural and industrial corridor. Numerous Sandpits are scattered throughout the terrain, particularly along the waterways of Muddy Creek and Hurricane Creek, indicating the local extraction economy of the era.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites and rural congregations, including Enon Cem, Gossett Cem, and New Salem Ch. Small settlements such as Tiplersville and Brownfield mark the historical path of the railroads as they cross the state line between Mississippi and Tennessee. The map also records civil landmarks like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal Pond in Walnut, providing a clear view of the town's late-twentieth-century infrastructure.
