2024 Map of Barlow

About this map

Little Bayou Pierre and its numerous tributaries, including Foster Creek and Brandywine Creek, define the rolling wooded landscape of this southern Mississippi terrain. The area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Hartley Cem, Segrest Cem, and Weeks Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the northern reaches of the Homochitto National Forest, the small settlements of Barlow and Burnell anchor a network of rural roads like Warren Hood Rd and Barlow Rd. The map illustrates the convergence of Copiah, Claiborne, and Jefferson counties, providing a contemporary view of the land's ongoing transition from traditional timber use to managed forest preservation. Notable landmarks like the Dixon Airport and Brandywine Spring highlight the dispersed nature of local industry and natural resources in this quiet corner of the state.
