About this map

Bowling Green and the small settlement of Poplar Springs anchor this portion of Holmes County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and Bayou systems. The terrain is notably etched by waterways such as Little Fannegusha Cr, Bophumpa Cr, and Bisland Bayou, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Beulah Grove Rd and Missionary Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout these hills, indicating a long-established rural community structure. From the Mount Pleasant Cem in the northeast to the Brister Cem in the south, these family and community markers, including Pleasant Ridge Cem and Spring Hill Cem, provide a clear picture of the historical settlement patterns. The land remains largely rural, divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships and ranges such as t16n r3e and t15n r4e.
