About this map

The Leaf River winds through this landscape northeast of Hattiesburg, providing a natural boundary for a series of distinct rural communities. Small settlements like Carterville, Sunrise, and Eastside dot the terrain, linked by a network of established roads such as Sunrise Rd and Old River Rd. The area is characterized by a high concentration of family and community landmarks, including the Forrest Memorial Gardens, Hillcrest Cem, and Pine Grove Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research.

Industrial and aviation interests are centered on the Hattiesburg Bobby L Chain Municipal Airport in the southwest. The hydrography of the region is complex, defined by numerous named tributaries like Wedgeworth Cr, Jakes Cr, and Reese Cr. These watercourses flow toward the larger river basin, creating a patchwork of lowlands and basins such as Wedgeworth Lake and Cypress Lake. The map documents the persistent rural character of these outskirts even as the urban influence of Hattiesburg expands nearby.
