2020 Map of Zama

About this map

The Attala Co and Leake Co border divides this central Mississippi landscape, where small crossroads settlements define the social geography. Smyrna, Patterson, and Zama anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle, while Gray and Marydell are situated further south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Lobutcha Creek, Pailey Cr, and Chestnut Cr, which carve through the wooded hills. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, showing Antioch Cem, Shield Cem, and Rocky Point Cem, among others, often located near the small community centers. These points of interest are connected by an intricate web of rural routes like Ridge RD and Old Center RD, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern that persists even into this modern survey.
