About this map

The Pascagoula River meanders through the eastern edge of this landscape, its path defined by features like McCray Bluff and numerous oxbow formations such as Mixon Lakes and Hutson Lake. This George County terrain is heavily forested, with a significant portion of the southwest quadrant encompassed by the DeSoto National Forest. Small communities and family-centered landmarks are scattered throughout, including the settlement of Benndale and the residential area of Riverview Estates.

Genealogical interest is high given the density of family-named burial grounds and roads, such as the Antioch Cem, Byrd-Cowart Cem, and Parker Cem. The rural infrastructure is highlighted by crossings like Byrd Bridge over Red Creek and a network of named local routes including Baston Wade Rd and Gyther Fairley Rd. The drainage pattern is complex, with numerous small waterways like Black Creek and Sweetwater Cr feeding into the larger river system.
