2024 Map of Auburn

About this map

The rolling hills of southwest Mississippi meet at the border of Amite, Lincoln, and Pike Counties, where the headwaters of the East Fork Amite River and the Tangipahoa River begin their southward journey. The small settlement of Auburn serves as a northern anchor for this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and remote burial grounds. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family landmarks such as the McGehee Cem, Johnston Chapel Cem, and Whittington Cem. The terrain rises toward Mars Hill in the west, while the southeastern corner touches the outskirts of McComb. Local commerce and community life historically clustered around intersections like Timberline, with small tributaries like Adams Creek and Cobb Branch weaving through the timberlands and farm plots.
