2018 Map of Beatrice

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this landscape in southern Mississippi, where the borders of Stone, George, Jackson, and Harrison Counties converge. The map illustrates a region defined by managed timberlands and a dense network of recreational trails, including the Tuxachanie Hiking Trail, Bethel Motorcycle Trail, and several loops of the Big Foot Horse - Blue Loop. Small communities like Beatrice and Dantzler are interspersed with historical markers of local lineage, such as Walker Cem, Broadus Cem, and Ramsey Cem. The drainage patterns of the coastal plain are clearly visible through the numerous small tributaries like Ramsey Cr and Little Red Cr. This modern survey documents the legacy of historic transit through labels such as Wire Road East, while also showing the specialized infrastructure of the forest's current use, from forestry roads to OHV trail systems.
