2018 Map of Weir

About this map

Weir sits at the southern edge of this Mississippi landscape, serving as a hub where the Yockanookany River flows through the lowlands of Choctaw County. The area's mid-twentieth-century character is defined by a network of rural roads and numerous local burial grounds that mark the heritage of dispersed communities. The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts diagonally across the northern terrain, tracing an ancient corridor through a landscape drained by McCurtain Cr and Besa Chitto Cr. Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries, including Bethlehem Cem, New Zion Cem, and Mill Springs Cem, indicating long-standing settlement patterns outside the primary town centers. The map also captures the smaller community of Penderville near the eastern boundary, illustrating the persistence of small rural nodes in the piney woods region.
