About this map

Waterford serves as a central hub in this section of Marshall County, situated along the corridor of Old Highway 7 S. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Little Spring Creek, Sand Creek, and the winding Big Spring Creek, which shape the rural settlement patterns. Several family and community burial grounds, such as Pegues Cemetery and Finley Cemetery, are scattered throughout the region, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Holly Springs Airport in the west and the rail line passing through Waites and the community of Gilton. The area around Spring Lake and the various country roads like Bethlehem Road and Taylor Road illustrate the modern layout of this traditional North Mississippi landscape, where small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks persist alongside established transit routes.
