2024 Map of Wheeler

About this map

Booneville, Wheeler, and Baldwyn define the settlement corridor of this Prentiss County landscape, connected by a network of rural routes like Wheeler Rd and Co Rd 5011. The terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Donivan Creek, Twentymile Creek, and Hurricane Creek, which carve through the ridges and bottomlands. This area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Sites such as the Old County Home Cem and Hodges Chapel Cem are scattered across the township lines, often situated near local landmarks like East Pleasant Ridge or water bodies such as Elder Lake. The map illustrates the contemporary rural character of Mississippi's hill country, where agriculture and small-town life are organized around these longstanding geographic and community markers.
