About this map

Walnut sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a hub near the Tennessee Mississippi border. The area is defined by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of Tippah County. From Oakland Ch in the northwest to Tiplersville in the south, the map documents the religious and social centers that anchored rural life at the end of the twentieth century.

To the west, the Holly Springs National Forest marks a distinct shift from the settled farmland and gravel operations, such as the numerous Sandpit sites, to protected woodlands. The terrain is broken by several waterways, including Muddy Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Dry Creek, which carve through the Bluff topography. Genealogists can find specific family landmarks such as Enon Cem, Gossett Cem, and Mr Hebron Cem, many of which are tucked away near secondary roads and woodland edges.
