About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates much of the landscape in this portion of South Mississippi, where the Pine Belt meets the upper reaches of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Highway 49 serves as a primary north-south spine, connecting the communities of Maxie, Fruitland Park, and Bond, before reaching the outskirts of Wiggins in the south. These settlements are linked by a network of local roads including C L Slade Rd and Fruitland Park Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on timber and small-scale agriculture.

Water features define the terrain, from Tiak Lake and the Flint Cr Reservoir to the many winding tributaries like Beaverdam Cr and White Pond Cr. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Griffin Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Bo Williams Cem near the southern edge of the survey. The map provides a clear picture of the boundary intersections between Forrest, Perry, and Stone Counties.
