About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this landscape in southern Mississippi, where the pine-covered hills of Forrest and Stone Counties meet. This survey shows a region defined by its timber and energy resources, with numerous gas wells and a network of gas pipelines and generic pipelines crisscrossing the terrain. The settlement pattern follows the railroad corridor, linking the communities of Bond, Fruitland Park, and Maxie.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the several family and community burial grounds, such as Batson Cem, St Paul Cem, and Bo Williams Cem. Recreation and conservation are central to the area's modern character, evidenced by the Flint Creek Water Park at the edge of the Flint Creek Reservoir and the presence of Camp Tiak. The Maxie Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the vast forested tracts and drainage systems like Beaverdam Creek.
