2020 Map of Whynot

About this map

The settlement of Alamucha sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the border of Mississippi and Alabama carves through a dense network of creek drainages. To the southwest, the community of Whynot marks a crossroads along Old Hwy 19 SE. This borderland is defined by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including McMurry Cem, Antioch Cem, and Coody Cemetery, which are often located near the winding courses of Alamuchee Cr and Kinterbish Cr. The road network is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Hurricane Cr and Yantley Cr, with several local routes like Sam Culpepper Rd and Liberty Church Rd connecting the scattered homesteads. The terrain transitions across the state line into Choctaw and Sumter Counties, Alabama, following the flow of Little Cr and Woods Cr toward the east.
