About this map

The Black Creek and Red Creek river systems dominate this landscape in southeastern Mississippi, where the George and Jackson county lines meet. During the early 1980s, the area remained largely rural and focused on the winding waterways within the Pascagoula River State Wildlife Management Area. A network of small family-named landmarks and country infrastructure defines the local topography, including Easen Hill and the nearby Red Hill.

Evidence of historical industry and transportation can be found along the Old Railroad Grade and at sites like Ladnier Mill and Sims Mill Pond. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined community centers such as Pine Grove Ch, Red Hill Ch, and the White Cem. This era shows a transition where traditional river landings, such as Holly Landing, remained important reference points amidst the dense creeks and drainages like Jump Branch and Alligator Branch.
