About this map

Whitten Town serves as the focal point of this North Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of local roads such as Co Rd 433 and Weikel Rd connects scattered farmsteads and rural family burial grounds. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous small lakes and creeks including Yellow Rabbit Lake, Lake Chautauqua, and the headwaters of Ishitubba Cr. These water bodies are often tucked between minor rises like Rogers Hill, reflecting the localized agricultural and residential patterns of Tippah County.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find an unusually high concentration of cemeteries, from the centrally located Whitten Town Cem to the peripherally situated Little Hope Cem and Mount Zion Cem. The presence of the Crawford Lookout Tower near Shelby Cr indicates the importance of timber management in this region. This survey preserves the exact placement of these landmarks and rural routes just as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
