2015 Map of Barbara

About this map

The Desoto National Forest dominates the center of this Mississippi landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the Gulf. Smaller settlements like Barbara and Batt Place are established along the north, while the southern terrain transitions into the Steve Hills. A dense network of family-named cemeteries, including Thomas Cem, Cochran Cem, and O'Neal Cem, suggests a long history of rural homesteads and tight-knit communities across the Perry, Stone, and George county lines. The water-rich environment is defined by distinctive features such as Horseshoe Lake and the meandering Black Creek, while named rural routes like Fairley Bridge Rd and Miles Cemetery Rd provide a clear view of the local infrastructure in the mid-2010s.
