The Leaf River and the Bowie River converge north of Hattiesburg in a landscape defined by the winding river bottoms and the residential growth of Forrest and Jones Counties. This 2020 record captures the corridor between the city and the Hattiesburg/Laurel Regional Airport, featuring a high density of rural burial grounds that preserve the area's genealogical history, including Shelton Cem, Knight Cem, and Heidelberg Cem. The community of Eastabuchie sits along the rail line, while Eatonville and Eatonville Flat dominate the central lowlands west of the river. Small settlements like Shelton, Maybank, and Leeville are interconnected by a network of named country roads, reflecting the modern transition of this Southern timber and river country into a suburban and regional transportation hub.
