About this map

The Leaf River winds through Perry County in a complex series of meanders, defining the local geography with features like Racetrack Bend, Bland Bluff, and Fairhope Bluff. The town of Beaumont serves as a central hub for the area, where a grid of streets including Bradley Ave, Long St, and Baylis St meets the Leaf River Boat Ramp. The landscape is dotted with numerous oxbow lakes and backwaters such as Deitz Lake, American Legion Lake, and the uniquely named Lott Dead River, reflecting the shifting nature of the river over time.

Industrial and public service markers are prominent, notably the Hercules Station and the Beaumont Fire Tower to the south. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including Belton Cem, Carter Hill Cem, and Hinton Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists. The map also shows smaller rural communities and landings like Benmore, Kittrell, and Ferguson, along with recreational spots like the US Highway 98 Roadside Park.
