1947 Map of Beaumont
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Leaf River snakes through the heart of this post-war landscape, carving a complex path of oxbow lakes and sandbars such as Longfield Sandbar. This region of the De Soto National Forest is defined by its timber and rail connections, with the Gulf Mobile & Ohio and Southern Railway intersecting at Beaumont. The eastern portion of Camp Shelby Military Reservation occupies the western edge of the sheet, while small settlements like McLain and Kittrell serve as local hubs for rural communities. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered country churches and burial grounds, including Moody Chapel, Sylvester Cem, and Union Ch. The terrain transitions from the low river bottomlands to named heights like Hillman Hills and Wolf Hill, illustrating the varied topography of Perry and Greene Counties.
