About this map

The settlement of Brooklyn serves as a central hub within this portion of the De Soto National Forest in Forrest and Perry counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Black Creek and its many tributaries like Chaney Creek and Grapevine Br. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several family and community sites, notably the Granny Bounds Cem and Anderson Cem, as well as the Pleasant Hill Ch further east.

Large-scale land use is evident in the expansive MTA Camp Shelby training area in the northeast. Modern recreation and conservation are highlighted by the Black Creek Trail, which meanders through the forest near Ashe Lake and Janney Lake. The transition from old transportation routes to modern infrastructure is marked by the presence of Old Hwy 49 alongside newer corridors, cutting through a terrain characterized by namesake features like Pearces Mill Cr.
