About this map

The Big Black River meanders across this landscape, forming a natural boundary between Holmes and Attala counties. This 2015 topographic survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the town of West and the smaller community of Edsville. The terrain is defined by its extensive network of watercourses, including Jordan Cr, Kyle Cr, and Howard Cr, which feed into the river system.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Moorehead Cem, Rocky Springs Cem, and the County Line Cem. Local roads like Old Wheeling Rd and Myers Rd trace the path of older transport routes through the creek bottoms and hills, providing a detailed record of the local infrastructure and property divisions in this portion of central Mississippi.
