2024 Map of Baxterville
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Baxterville sits at the intersection of several local corridors in southwestern Lamar County, where the Pine Belt landscape transitions between the Pearl River and Pascagoula River basins. The settlement pattern is defined by family-named routes and creek crossings, such as Purvis To Baxterville Rd and Tatum Salt Dome Rd. This interior Mississippi landscape is heavily drained by a complex network of waterways, including Little Black Creek, South Branch Red Creek, and West Hobolochitto Creek. Genealogists will find the Baxterville Cem and Myrtle Grove Cem situated near these drainage divides. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Mississippi in the eastern section indicates large-scale land management or conservation efforts, while the naming of small tributaries like Wagon Track Branch and Chinquapin Branch reflects a long-standing vernacular relationship with the wooded terrain.
