About this map

Dixie sits as a central settlement in southern Mississippi, characterized by a landscape defined by its numerous small lakes and creek systems. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of Hattiesburg to the north and Purvis to the southwest, connected by a network of well-established roads like Old Hwy 98 E and Browns Bridge Rd. The area maintains its community identity through landmarks like the Dixie Baptist Church and the Dixie Community Cem, while the terrain is divided by the Lamar and Forrest county line. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for family-named sites such as Clark Cem and Mineral Springs Cem. The hydrological pattern is intricate, featuring bodies of water like Beaver Lake, Elks Lake, and Sumrall Lake which are fed by winding tributaries including Black Creek, Clear Creek, and Walls Creek.
