About this map

Gloster serves as the primary hub in this southwest Mississippi landscape, defined by the winding paths of the Little Buffalo River and Middle Fork Buffalo Cr. The town's grid is dense with historical family landmarks, including Gloster Roselawn Cem and Gloster Woodlawn Cem, indicating a long-established community center. To the south, the smaller settlement of Tatum sits along the Georgia Pacific No 2 rail line, highlighting the area's industrial ties to timber and transportation.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the rural acreage, from the Haynes Cem and Mount Olive Cem in the west to Lusk Cem and Damascus Cem in the east. Public lands are represented by the Homochitto District Ranger Office and the Woodman Springs Picnic Area, underscoring the significance of the surrounding national forest. The network of named country roads, such as Hiram Rd and Macedonia Rd, provides a clear view of the rural homestead patterns as they existed in the early 21st century.
