About this map

The city of Forest anchors this 2018 survey of Scott County, where the industrial and municipal growth of the town meets the protected woodlands of the Bienville National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including Harrell Prairie Hill, Mathes Hill, and Pinkston Hill, which rise above the drainage basins of the Leaf River and Tallabogue creek. This modern topographic record details the residential expansion of Magnolia Hts and the specialized infrastructure surrounding the G V Montgomery Airport.

Beyond the city limits, smaller communities and family-named landmarks like Fikestown, Norris, and Donohoe reveal the rural character of the region. Genealogists can locate established burial grounds such as Eastern Cem near the town center and the more secluded Gatewood Cem to the south. The mapping of the local road network, from Industrial Way St to historic routes like Old Hwy 80, demonstrates the evolution of central Mississippi transportation corridors.
