About this map

The Leaf River carves a winding path through this portion of Perry County, shaping a landscape defined by significant river features like Racetrack Bend, Fairhope Bluff, and Bland Bluff. The town of Beaumont serves as a central hub, where the intersection of local roads and the river system supported the regional timber and agricultural economy. To the south and west, the expanse of the De Soto National Forest and the training grounds of MTA Camp Shelby dominate the terrain, reflecting the long-standing military and conservation footprint in southern Mississippi.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and local burial sites, including Hinton Cem, Carter Hill Cem, and Lott Cem. Smaller communities and junctions such as New Augusta, Kittrell, and Ferguson are clearly mapped alongside river crossings like the Wingate Bridge. The numerous named lakes, such as McSwain Lake and Lake Perry, emphasize the water-rich nature of this Piney Woods environment.
