The Leaf River flows through this 2020 landscape, anchoring the eastern fringes of Hattiesburg and the neighboring city of Petal. This contemporary map details a transitional region where the urban grid gives way to a network of smaller communities like Sunrise, Carterville, and Goodluck. The presence of Hattiesburg Bobby L Chain Municipal Airport south of Sims Lake reflects the modern infrastructure of the Pine Belt. Researchers interested in local genealogy will find several burial sites preserved amidst the residential and timbered lands, including Hillcrest Cem and the Forrest Memorial Gardens. The map also traces intricate water systems like Lotts Creek and Wedgeworth Cr, illustrating the dense drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in Forrest County.
