About this map

Barlow and Burnell anchor this rural landscape in southwestern Mississippi, where the headwaters of Little Bayou Pierre and its many tributaries, such as Brandywine Cr and Bobs Br, define the terrain. The area is characterized by a network of winding local roads named for established families, including Henneberry Rd, Vardaman Rd, and Shelton Weeks Rd.

Genealogical interest is high throughout this quadrangle, as numerous family and community burial grounds are meticulously documented. Researchers can locate the Rehobeth-Barlow Cem near the primary settlement of Barlow, while more isolated sites like Segrest Cem, Hartley Cem, and Hawkins Cem are found along the ridges and timbered draws. The presence of Brandywine Spring near Burnell suggests the long-standing importance of reliable water sources for these small upland communities.
