About this map

Hattiesburg anchors the northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, where the urban edge gives way to the creek-fed lowlands of the Black Creek basin. The area around Dixie serves as a local hub, defined by the Dixie Baptist Church and a cluster of nearby burial grounds including Dixie Community Cem and the Dixie Baptist Church Cem. This terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, from the meandering Priests Cr to the larger Black Creek which cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with significant bodies such as Sumrall Lake, Elks Lake, and Beaver Lake providing distinct landmarks. The map also records family-named infrastructure like Sullivan Kilrain Rd and Roy Tucker Rd, alongside the long-standing boundary line between Lamar County and Forrest County. These details reveal a rural community structure organized around family landholdings and small-town congregations.
