About this map

The Pearl River winds through the heart of this landscape, defining the boundary between Leake and Neshoba counties. The settlement of Edinburg serves as a local hub near the river crossing, while the smaller community of Remus sits to the north. The area's low-lying geography is characterized by features such as Yellow Bluff and the broad Palmetto Flats, which highlight the river's influence on the local topography.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of established burial sites, including Bethany Cem, Harmony Cem, and Mars Hill Cem. These sites, along with Ebenezer Cem, White Oak Cem, and Remus Cem, provide a clear map of the region's historical family settlements. A notable landmark, Coughlin Mound, suggests a much deeper timeline of human habitation in this river valley, while the intricate network of creeks like Hooper Mill Cr and Lukfapa Cr illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped land use for generations.
