About this map

Lake O' the Pines dominates the northern reaches of this Harrison County landscape, where the waters are held by the Ferrells Bridge Dam. The settlement of Harleton serves as a central hub for a network of country roads connecting numerous rural congregations and burial grounds. Genealogists can find several established landmarks such as Smyrna Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and the Eagle Creek Cem.

South of town, the terrain descends toward Little Cypress Bayou and the Minnow Ponds, while the northeastern corner shows the developing recreational infrastructure around the West Abutment Recreational Area. The 1978 photorevisions, indicated in purple, trace subtle changes in land use and building footprints near Macedonia and along the local Pipeline corridors, reflecting the area's ongoing evolution between timber, water management, and rural residence.
