2020 Map of Yellow Creek

About this map

Pickwick Lake dominates the landscape where the borders of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee converge, creating a complex geography of flooded inlets and high ridges. The area is defined by numerous family-named hollows and cemeteries that speak to the long settlement history of Tishomingo County. Landforms like Bee Mtn, Bonds Mtn, and Potato Hill rise above the water-carved terrain, while Goat Island and State Line Island sit as prominent landmarks within the reservoir. Local life centers around rural intersections like High Point and spiritual anchors such as Poplar Springs Baptist Church and Short Creek Baptist Church. The map details a network of county roads that navigate the intricate drainage systems of Short Cr and Morgan Br, providing a clear view of how modern transportation adapts to the prehistoric contours of the Tennessee River valley.
