About this map

Holly Springs National Forest dominates the eastern half of this Marshall County landscape, where the mixed pine and hardwood terrain is dotted with several rural religious and burial sites. The community of Waterford serves as a central point of interest, situated near the intersection of various local roads and the Burlington Northern railroad line. To the west, Wall Doxey State Park provides a concentrated area of recreation centered on Lake Daroma and Spring Lake, reflecting a mid-20th-century transition toward conservation and public parkland.

Several family and community landmarks are scattered across the quadrangle, such as Waltons Chapel Cem and Pegues Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Nunnally Creek, Chew Creek, and Big Spring Creek illustrate the rolling topography typical of northern Mississippi. These watercourses, alongside small churches like Beverly Chapel and Calvin Chapel, define the social and physical geography of this rural district in the early 1980s.
