About this map

De Soto National Forest covers the majority of this landscape in south Mississippi, where the headwaters of the Pascagoula River system carve through the terrain. The presence of the St Stephens Base Line at the northern edge marks a critical surveying boundary for the region. Significant water features like Black Creek and the Flint Creek Reservoir dominate the hydrology, while the Flint Creek Water Park and Janice Landing Recreation Site indicate the area's transition toward managed recreational use by the early 1980s.

Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations. Small cemeteries such as New York Cem, Sims Cem, and the Howard-Breland Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, often situated near historic community hubs like Andrews Chapel and Cross Roads Ch. The southern portion of the map highlights the transition from forest to the Bond Pond area, reflecting the varied topography along the Perry Co Stone Co border.
