About this map

The Pearl River winds along the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, carving a complex landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands in the western reaches of this survey. Near the river, prominent water bodies like Horseshoe Lake, Road Lake, and Lower Cameron Lake mark the alluvial plain. Further inland, the settlement of Fords Creek serves as a central point in an area defined by family-named tracks and rural roads, including James Ladner Rd and Hilt Fornea Rd.

The eastern portion of the landscape transitions toward the drainage of W Hobolochitto Cr and Little Hell Cr. Cultural history is evident at the Richie Cem in the southwest, while topographical features like Hunt Bluff and the curiously named Gobbler Head provide distinct landmarks. This area shows a mix of traditional land divisions, as seen in Tract 37 and Tract 38, alongside modern rural residential developments.
