2018 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and the surrounding countryside near the borders of Amite, Lincoln, and Pike Counties are defined by a network of small family cemeteries and meandering creek beds. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where small settlements like Mars Hill and Oakland remain anchored by local history and family lineages. The landscape is bisected by the Tangipahoa River, which is joined by numerous tributaries including Pevine Cr, Haymans Cr, and Cobb Br. A significant concentration of burial sites, such as Johnson Chapel Cem and Whittington Cem, provides essential data for genealogists tracing ancestors in this part of Mississippi. The road network, including Old Brookhaven Rd and Shell Olive Field Rd, follows the undulating terrain of the river valley, connecting these small communities and isolated homesteads.
