About this map

Tatums Camps and the surrounding pine-belt landscape of Lamar County are defined by a dense network of creeks and familial road names. The area is dominated by the drainage of Hurricane Cr, Little Bay Cr, and Blue Springs Br, creating a pattern of small hollows and ridges like Hickory Hollow. Historically significant routes, such as the Purvis to Columbia Rd, intersect with local paths that preserve family history, including Ben Sones Rd and Luther Saucier Rd.

A notable landmark is the Tatum Salt Dome Rd, hinting at the unique geological subsurface of this region. Local genealogy is anchored by the Bay Creek Cem, located near the junction of Hurricane Cr and Mill Br. The landscape remains largely rural, characterized by features like Gall Berry Brake and Clear Spring Br, which illustrate the hydrological character of southern Mississippi before modern development transformed these smaller watersheds.
