2020 Map of Wren

About this map

Wren and New Wren anchor the northwestern portion of this Monroe County landscape, characterized by a series of engineered watercourses and traditional rural settlements. The eastern edge of the map features the outskirts of Amory and the Tombigbee River, where the natural flow is modified by several significant navigational improvements. These include the Roundhouse Branch Cutoff, Becker Cutoff, and Acker Lake Cutoff, which illustrate the modern management of the river system. Between the hills and the river bottomlands, the map records a high density of local cemeteries, including Wren Cem, Bransford Cem, and New Hope Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. Prominent local relief such as Colberts Hill rises above the drainage of Town Creek and Wolf Cr, while Lake Martha provides a distinct interior water feature amidst the intersection of old transport routes like Old Hwy 41 and Old Wren Rd.
