About this map

Weir serves as the primary hub in this Choctaw County landscape, situated near the banks of the Yockanookany River. The area is characterized by a dense network of local roads and watercourses, including McCurtain Cr, Besa Chitto Cr, and Bear Cr, which define the rural layout. Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Penderville Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and Mill Springs Cem.

Transportation corridors like the Natchez Trace Pkwy intersect the older grid of roads, which include Chester Mills Rd and Weir Salem Rd. Distinctive landmarks like the Weir Lookout Tower and the Bywy Overlook indicate the local elevation and forest management history of the region. The map also records several small creek branches, such as King Br and Winters Br, that feed into the larger river system, illustrating the well-watered nature of this part of Mississippi.
