About this map

Water Valley sits at the center of this 2013 survey, where the low-lying wetlands of the Bayou de Chien meet the rolling uplands of Graves and Fulton Counties. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with the S Fork Bayou de Chien and Harris Fork Cr carving through a region dominated by agricultural tracts and small, scattered settlements like Feliciana and Roper.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the rural churchyards and family burial grounds, including the Camp Beauregard Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. The transportation network is anchored by the Purchase Pkwy N, which bypasses the older town centers, illustrating the shift from local commerce to regional highway connectivity. Further south, the map captures the outskirts of Fulton and South Fulton at the Tennessee border, marking the edge of a vital rail and transit corridor.
