About this map

Brookhaven serves as the focal point of this Lincoln County survey, showing the city's modern infrastructure and municipal layout centered around the Lincoln County / Brookhaven Government Complex. The urban center is flanked by significant local landmarks including the Brookhaven-Lincoln County Airport to the northeast and the Brookhaven Memorial Gardens to the north. The landscape is defined by the forks of the Bogue Chitto, with W Bogue Chitto and E Bogue Chitto winding through the surrounding timberlands and rural reaches.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds and small communities that dot the periphery, such as Friendship and Hartman. Sacred sites like the Mount Moriah Baptist Church and historic cemeteries including Rose-Hill Cem, Easthaven Cem, and Macedonia Cem provide specific points for family research. The map also records several family-named roads and rural settlements like Carlos, reflecting the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of southern Mississippi.
