About this map

Bogue Chitto and its surrounding Lincoln County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Bogue Chitto waterway and a dense network of country roads. Small settlements like Norfield, Thayer, and Wilkinson are clustered along the north-south transportation corridors, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family burial grounds that offer deep genealogical value. These include the Robert and James Price Family Cem and the New Zion Union Norfield Cem.

The terrain is dissected by numerous smaller streams such as Sawdust Branch, Boone Creek, and Moaks Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Named for its location on higher ground, Blueberry Hill stands out among the rural homesteads. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of southern Mississippi, where long-standing family names persist on markers like Harris Rawls Cem and Stewart Cem.
