About this map

Pascagoula River and its intricate network of tributaries define this part of George County, where the University of Mississippi Forest covers much of the southwestern landscape. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and winding waterways like Black Creek and Red Creek, which carve through the Wyatt Hills. Smaller settlements such as Benndale and Dale are connected by rural roads, while an Old RR Grade serves as a physical reminder of former industrial transport through these pine-heavy corridors.

Local history is preserved in several family-named and community landmarks, including Byrd-Cowart Cem, Mixon Cem, and Flurry Cem. Cultural centers of gravity are found at Little Sweetwater Ch and the Broome Community Center. This survey also delineates the extensive Pascagoula River State Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the region's focus on conservation and forest management in the early 1980s.
