About this map

Zeiglerville and the surrounding hill country of the Choctaw Meridian define this landscape during the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous country churches and small community hubs that served the rural population of both Holmes and Yazoo counties. Distinctive landmarks include St Luke Ch and Antioch Ch, which sit among the drainage basins of Harland Creek and Tesheva Creek.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through scattered Gravel Pits and the convergence of rural routes at Pierce Crossroad. To the south, Midway and its associated Midway Ch mark another pocket of settlement near Piney Creek. This map captures a specific transition in the Mississippi interior, where established family cemeteries like Locust Grove Cem and Riley Cem reflect generations of local history before more modern development reached these ridges.
