About this map

The West Pearl River and its complex network of bayous define the landscape along the Mississippi Louisiana border during the late 1950s. This survey details a riverine economy transitioning from earlier eras, evidenced by numerous landings like Davis Landing and Crawford Landing alongside the Southern Railway System corridor. The interior is a dense maze of water bodies such as Johnson Lake, Peach Lake Cutoff, and Maddens Slough, interspersed with distinct hammocks and islands like Whisky Island and Goat Morgan Island. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Porters Cem, Napoleon Cem, and Rousseaux Cem. Settlements like Logtown and Gainesville appear at a time when the river remained the primary geographic anchor for the region, before the intensifying land-use changes of the late 20th century.
