2020 Map of Wheeler

About this map

The boundary between Prentiss and Lee counties cuts through this portion of northeast Mississippi, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Twentymile Creek and Dugger Cr. The small community of Wheeler sits at the intersection of Wheeler Rd and local routes, surrounded by a high density of rural cemeteries and small family churches that indicate long-standing settlement patterns. Notable sites for genealogists include Old County Home Cem and the House of Prayer Church. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies like Elder Lake and Bennett Lake, and small drainage features such as Osborne Cr and Boyer Cr. This survey illustrates the modern road network, including numerous county roads like Co Rd 5001 and Co Rd 5111, connecting these disparate rural landmarks and agricultural tracts.
