About this map

The Pascagoula River and its intricate network of oxbow lakes and sloughs dominate this portion of the Gulf Coastal Plain along the border of George and Jackson Counties. The landscape is defined by the slow-moving waters of Black Creek, Red Creek, and the Dead River, which have carved a complex environment of wetlands and bottomlands. Prominent elevations such as Easen Hill, Carrol Hill, and the distinctive Red Bluff rise above the surrounding marshes and river bends, providing the primary ground for local development and historical cemeteries.

Rural infrastructure is traced through a system of local routes like Old River RD and Vestry RD, connecting family-named landmarks and remote burial grounds. Genealogists can identify key sites including Pine Grove Cem, White Cem, and Cain Cem. The map reveals the hydrology of the region in remarkable detail, from the isolated Brewton Lake and Berlson Lake to named features along the main channel like Webbs Point and Duck Roost.
