About this map

The Pearl River snakes along the border between Washington Parish and Pearl River County, defining the boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana. This 1980s landscape is dominated by the dense network of oxbow lakes and wetlands adjacent to the river, including Aaron Lake, Hunt Lake, Road Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. The presence of Hunt Bluff offers a rare point of elevation overlooking the floodplain, while further inland, the terrain is carved by Fords Creek and Mill Creek. Small, isolated symbols for School and various Cem locations point to the rural social fabric of the era, where family-named landmarks like John Henry Lake and Harry Lake suggest a long history of local land use along the river's edge.
