About this map

The boundary between Perry Co and Greene Co splits this landscape of dense piney woods and creek bottoms in the early 1960s. The area is characterized by small, rural clusters and family landmarks such as Sand Hill and the community of Brewer in the northwest. Local history is anchored by several small country churches and burial grounds, including Zion Rest Ch and Nazareth Ch Cem.

Industry in this part of Mississippi is represented by scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit, indicating natural resource extraction amidst the complex drainage network of Woods Creek and Boykin Creek. The map detail traces the winding paths of numerous tributaries like Yellow Jacket Creek and Newcomb Branch, showing a landscape where traditional southern rural life intersected with mid-century energy exploration.
