About this map

The Leaf River snakes through the center of this landscape, its path defined by natural landmarks like Bland Bluff, Racetrack Bend, and Fairhope Bluff. Much of the southern and western terrain is occupied by the De Soto National Forest, where the Rattlesnake Bay ATV Trail winds through the woods. The town of Beaumont serves as the primary hub, situated near the confluence of the river and Thompson Creek, an area marked by industrial sandpits and gravel pits.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous country churches and family burial grounds, including Union Ch, Kittrell Ch, and Belton Cem. Traces of earlier settlements and remote outposts appear at Benmore, Kittrell, and Graves. The presence of the Hercules Station and various military special use areas indicates the intersection of conservation lands with infrastructure and defense needs at the turn of the millennium.
