2012 Map of Forest

About this map

Forest serves as the central hub of this Scott County landscape, where urban streets like Iberville St and Front St meet the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Mathes Hill, Sherman Hill, and the distinctive Harrell Prairie Hill. Significant watercourses such as the Leaf River, Tallabogue, and Hontokalo Cr weave through the countryside, influencing the placement of smaller settlements like Norris and Fikestown. Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the documentation of the Eastern Cem and Gatewood Cem, alongside aviation landmarks like the G. V. Montgomery Airport. The map reflects a modern rural network where old routes like Old Hwy 35 and Zion Church Rd connect long-standing communities and family-named landmarks across the Mississippi interior.
