2024 Map of Big Swamp

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The Wolf River defines this corner of Mississippi, carving a winding path through a landscape characterized by dense hydrology and family-held lands. The interior is marked by significant wetland features such as Big Brake and Waterhole Brake, surrounded by a complex network of small tributaries including Beaverdam Creek, Fryes Creek, and the ominously named Murder Creek. Settlement patterns are recorded through numerous family cemeteries including Myrick Cem, Frye Cem, and Rester Cem, often situated near rural junctions like Progress Rd and Restertown Rd. The topography rises toward Antler Ridge in the south, while the northern reaches show the influence of through-routes like Shenandoah Rd. This U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the modern rural structure of Pearl River County, where narrow roads like Ervin Ladner Rd and Ronnie Brown Rd provide access to the timber and swamp margins that have historically shaped local industry and community layout.
