About this map

Pearl River meanders through this portion of Marion County, Mississippi, creating a landscape of oxbows and creek networks. Small settlements and rural community hubs such as Foxworth, Jamestown, Lovelace, and Pickwick are connected by a web of local roads, including Old Foxworth-Jamestown Rd and Old Highway 35 S. The presence of several historic burial grounds, such as Friendship Cem and Sunflower Cem, suggests long-standing family ties to the land.

Economic activity is anchored by the Hub Oil Field in the south and Porter Airport further north. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, where Balls Mill Cr, Tenmile Cr, and Upper Little Cr feed into the primary river system. This survey provides a clear look at the transition from concentrated village centers to the outlying timber and agricultural tracts that define this riverine region.
