About this map

The Yockanookany River winds through the southern landscape of this Choctaw County region, defining the drainage patterns for numerous tributaries like Mike Cr and Besa Chitto Cr. Centered around the town of Weir, the map illustrates a rural community anchored by a dense network of country roads and ancestral burial grounds. This 2020 survey highlights the preservation of local heritage through numerous named cemeteries, including Salem Cem, Pisgah Cem, and the Weir Chapel Cem.

In the north, the Natchez Trace Pkwy cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, following the historical travel corridor through the Mississippi interior. The area's geography is further detailed by small family-named routes such as Luther Crowder Rd and Stewart Weir Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small settlements like Penderville to the regional hubs. This map serves as a contemporary record of long-established land divisions and local landmarks that have persisted for generations.
