2018 Map of Wren

About this map

The lowlands of Monroe County are defined by a complex network of waterways, where Town Creek and Moccasin Creek wind through a landscape shaped by significant hydrological modifications. This modern 2018 survey reveals a system of cutoffs, including the Weaver Creek Cutoff and Becker Cutoff, which illustrate the engineered management of the region's river basins. Centered between the settlements of Wren and the western edge of Amory, the map documents a transition from residential clusters to extensive wetlands and floodplains. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Wren Cemetery, Thompson Cemetery, and Mound Cemetery, alongside recreational landmarks like Lake Monroe and Lake Martha. The map's layout of rural roads, including Central Grove Road and Peacely Ferry Road, indicates the enduring terrestrial routes that cross this water-rich territory.
