About this map

Fayette serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County landscape, where the local economy and geography are shaped by the petroleum industry and an intricate network of creeks. The South Fayette Oil Field and Cadillac Oil Field denote the region's industrial footprint, while numerous family and community burial sites such as Gibson Cem, Hamblin Cem, and Puffel Cem are scattered across the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research.

Waterways like Bolls Cr, Fairchilds Cr, and Morgan Fork thread through the area, feeding into local landmarks like American Legion Lake and Mossy Lake. The settlement pattern follows older routes such as Old Hwy 20 and Old Harriston Rd, connecting the central hub of Fayette to outlying communities like Harriston, McNair, and Cadillac. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern resource extraction in southwestern Mississippi.
