About this map

The Leaf River winds through the heart of Perry County, shaping a landscape defined by significant river bends and bluffs such as Bland Bluff and Fairhope Bluff. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the presence of the Desoto National Forest, which covers large portions of the southern and western regions. The town of Beaumont serves as a central hub, where historic street names like Railroad St and Bolton Ave reflect its development.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including Hinton Cem, Carter Hill Cem, and Belton Cem. The map tracks the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Wingate Bridge to the industrial site at Hercules Station. Smaller settlements like New Augusta and Kittrell are connected by a network of roads, including the family-named Ann Hinton Rd and Vardaman Hinton Rd, illustrating the deep-rooted community ties of this Mississippi river territory.
