About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates the landscape of this southern Mississippi survey, encompassing a complex network of gas production and local landmarks. The settlement of Carnes serves as a focal point near the northern border, while the topography is defined by the prominent Pistol Ridge and the winding course of Red Creek. The area is notably dense with family-named burial grounds and rural places of worship, including Old Sandhill Ch and the Eureka Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Forrest and Stone counties.

Industrial activity is evident through the numerous Gas Wells, a Dehydration Plant, and extensive pipelines that cut across the creek-fed terrain. Waterways like Hurricane Creek and Double Branch flow through the timberlands, illustrating the rural character of the region. The map also documents important local infrastructure, such as the Lee Tower and several remote cemeteries like Lotts Smith Cem and the J E Bounds Mem Cem.
