About this map

The Pearl River forms the southwestern boundary of this area, marking the divide between Mississippi and Louisiana. This 2015 survey shows a landscape of timbered hills and creek bottoms where Lamar, Marion, and Pearl River counties meet. The settlement of Rouse and the high ground at Hub Hill anchor the northeastern corner, connected by a network of rural roads including Dewey Smith Rd and Sun Oil Rd.

Genealogists can trace several established burial grounds across the terrain, from Rose Hill Cem in the west to Howard Cem in the east. Numerous small watercourses, such as Clear Cr, Rawls Cr, and White Oak Cr, define the drainage patterns toward the river. Notable landmarks like Stony Point Hill and the Pearl Bluff offer fixed points for understanding the local topography before the modern road grid fully developed.
