2024 Map of Water Valley East

About this map

Otoucalofa Creek and Spring Creek wind through the hills of this region southeast of the Water Valley town center. The landscape is defined by its numerous small-scale family and community burial grounds, illustrating a long-established rural settlement pattern where residents were often interred near their homes or congregational meeting places. Prominent local landmarks include Jumper's Chapel Cem and Pilgrim Rest Cem, while the community of Springdale sits in the northwest, tucked between the Yocona River and Goodwin Creek. The map documents a dense network of county roads like Co RD 378 and Co RD 374 that cross the ridges and valleys between Lafayette, Yalobusha, and Calhoun counties. These drainage patterns, such as Greasy Creek and Moore Creek, dictate the winding paths of the local transport network as it serves the scattered homesteads of north-central Mississippi.
