1983 Map of Big Swamp

About this map

Wolf River winds through a heavily wooded and swampy landscape in Pearl River County, where the sprawling basin of Big Swamp defines the lower terrain. This 1980s landscape is dotted with rural family landmarks and small-scale infrastructure, including a Gravel Pit and a Pipe Line cutting through the timber. The social fabric of the area is tied to several scattered burial grounds such as Beall Cem, Bond Cem, and Lee Cem, alongside the Hickory Springs Ch. Numerous smaller drainages like Alligator Creek, Beaverdam Creek, and Cowpen Creek feed into the primary river system, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Piney Woods region. This provisional survey captures the transition from traditional rural land use toward modern additions like the Trailer Park near Wolf Creek.
