About this map

The De Soto National Forest dominates this section of southern Mississippi, where conservation and timber management define the landscape at the turn of the millennium. The community of Brooklyn serves as a central hub, situated near the winding course of Black Creek and the intersection of Brooklyn Road and Janice Road. The presence of the Forrest County Agricultural Sch and the U S Forest Service Ashe Nursery highlights the region's historical focus on forest research and education.

Local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds such as Pleasant Hill Cem, Anderson Cem, and Granny Bounds Cem, the latter located within the Granny Creek Bay Research Natural Area. Resource extraction and land use vary across the quadrangle, from the Gas Field and scattered Gas Wells in the southwest to the Military Special Use Area and various impact zones that border the Forrest Co and Perry Co line.
