About this map

The Bogue Chitto River and the Pearl River carve a complex system of bottomlands and islands along the Louisiana-Mississippi border, defining the western portion of this 1994 survey. The industrial center of Bogalusa stands near the edge of the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge, while the Illinois Central RR corridor anchors settlements like Varnado and Rio. To the east, the landscape transitions into the pine-dominated reaches of the De Soto National Forest.

Regional transportation networks including Us 49 and Us 98 link the Mississippi timber and college towns of Poplarville, Lumberton, and Perkinston. The map details the intricate hydrology of the region, from the Talisheek Swamp to major tributaries like the Wolf River and Black Creek. This record documents the rural character of the interstate borderlands before the significant suburban expansion of the late twentieth century, preserving the placement of small communities such as McNeill and Carriere.
