About this map

Water Valley sits at the western edge of this landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding course of Greasy Creek. The area is defined by a high density of rural burial grounds and small community centers that mark the intersections of county roads. Settlements like Springdale, Palestine, and Union Hall serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural and timbered lands.

Tracing the waterways reveals a network of drainage including the Yocona River in the north and Otoucalofa Creek to the south. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community landmarks, such as Wyatt Chapel Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Mount Liberty Cem. The map clearly delineates the tri-county border area where Lafayette, Yalobusha, and Calhoun counties converge, highlighting how these political boundaries intersect with the natural flow of Humphreys Creek and Moore Creek.
