2012 Map of Big Swamp

About this map

The Wolf River and its complex network of tributaries, including Beaverdam Cr and Alligator Cr, dominate this section of Pearl River County in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by low-lying wetland features such as Big Brake and Waterhole Brake, reflecting the area's name. Local heritage is deeply embedded in the rural road network, with many thoroughfares named for families, such as Harry Davis Rd, Oscar Lee Rd, and Ervin Lee Rd. Small family cemeteries like Beall Cem, Bond Cem, and Rester Cem are scattered across the terrain, serving as vital markers for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. Industrial activity is noted by the presence of the American Sand and Gravel Rd, while the Bilbo Lookout Tower near Bilbo stands as a prominent navigational landmark in the southwestern corner.
