2015 Map of Forest

About this map

Forest serves as the central hub of this Scott County landscape, where the intersection of Old Hwy 80 and local routes like S Main St anchors the community's growth. To the south and east, the map reveals the transition from the municipal grid into the protected woodlands of the Bienville National Forest. This area is characterized by a series of named elevations including Harrell Prairie Hill, Mathes Hill, and Sherman Hill, which divide the various drainage basins of the Leaf River and its tributaries such as Jones Cr and Hontokalo Cr. Small outlying settlements like Norris, Fikestown, and Donohoe appear as pockets of development along secondary roads. Genealogists will find the locations of Eastern Cem and Gatewood Cem particularly useful for tracing local family roots in the rural areas surrounding the town center.
