About this map

Fair Oak Springs and Harmony anchor this Mississippi landscape, illustrating the persistent rural settlement patterns of Lincoln County. The area is defined by the winding course of the Fair River and its primary tributary, the Little Fair River, which create a complex drainage system including Kees Cr, Maxwell Br, and Richey Cr. These watercourses have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and the winding paths of local roads like Nola Rd NE and Old Malcom Rd NE.

Genealogical interest is found in family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Smith Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Kees Cem. The integration of traditional rural life with modern infrastructure is visible through the presence of Shadycreek Acres Airport and localized industry represented by Gravel Pit Lake. The map provides a clear view of the transition between the rolling hills and the river bottoms, where names like Turkey Br and Perch Cr mark the landscape's diverse hydrology.
