1983 Map of Water Valley East

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Yocona River and its dense network of tributaries, including Tidwell Creek and Goodwin Creek, define the north-central Mississippi landscape in this early 1980s provisional study. The eastern periphery of Water Valley is the primary settlement, set against the borders of Lafayette, Yalobusha, and Calhoun Counties. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by numerous small houses of worship and burial grounds. Many are namesake landmarks, such as South Hopewell Ch and Otoucalofa Ch, which served dispersed homesteads throughout the hills. Small family and community cemeteries like Oak Ridge Cem and Wyatt Chapel Cem are tucked away near local watercourses, offering critical data points for genealogists tracing ancestors in the region. The map also records the rural junction of Springdale and various named drainages like Greasy Creek and Hanna Creek that fed the agricultural and timbered valleys.
