About this map

Brooklyn sits as the central settlement in this portion of Forrest and Perry Counties, surrounded by the protected lands of the De Soto National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Black Creek and its many tributaries, including Pearces Mill Cr and Granny Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by military and conservation efforts, with the southern reaches of MTA Camp Shelby occupying the northeast corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, such as Granny Bounds Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, which mark the generational footprint of rural families. The extensive Black Creek Trail system meanders through the forest, connecting natural features like Ashe Lake and Janney Lake. The road network, including Old Hwy 49 and Rockhill Brooklyn Rd, underscores the town's role as a regional crossroads near the county line.
