About this map

The Baxterville Oil and Gas Field dominates the industrial landscape of this Lamar County region, where heavy infrastructure meets the drainages of the Pearl River. This area is characterized by a network of rural routes named for local families, such as Will Alexander Rd and Nancy Magee Ln, which weave through a terrain of distinct rises like Stony Point Hill and Red Hill.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem, New Hope Cem, and Howard Cem. The small settlement of Rouse sits near the northern boundary, while the Pinebur Lookout Tower remains a prominent landmark overlooking the timber and oil lands. The topography is defined by numerous waterways such as Rawls Cr and Clear Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Mississippi and Louisiana borderlands.
