2015 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn serves as a central point of reference in this corner of southwest Mississippi, where the borders of Amite, Lincoln, and Pike Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several major regional river systems, most notably the south-flowing Tangipahoa River and the E Fork Amite River. The rural character of the area is underscored by an extensive network of family-named roads and numerous small burial grounds, such as Tangipahoa Cem and Johnson Chapel Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain consists of rolling hills dissected by numerous creeks, including Gordon Cr, McGehee Cr, and Haymans Cr. Toward the southeast, the map shows the transition into the outskirts of McComb, reflecting the gradual shift from the heavily wooded and agricultural river forks toward the more developed corridors of Pike County.
