2000 Map of Whitten Town

About this map

Holly Springs National Forest blankets much of this landscape along the border of Benton and Tippah counties at the start of the 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Whitten Town and the high point of Rogers Hill, surrounded by a dense network of country roads such as Blackjack Road and Ironcrafters Road. This area is defined by its deep-rooted rural communities, evidenced by numerous small churches and family burial grounds like Beech Hill Ch, Little Hope Ch, and Tate Cem. The topography is shaped by a complex drainage system including Shelby Creek and North Tippah Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Crawford Lookout Tower stands near Lake Chautauqua, serving as a silent sentinel for forest management in this timber-rich region of northern Mississippi.
