About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the town of Forest meets a network of rural settlements and winding waterways. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system, including the prominent Hontokalo Creek in the east and the Tallabogue to the west, which create a complex environment of creeks and branches like Little Indian Br and Hurricane Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of historic communities, showing the spatial relationship between the village of Harperville and outlying areas like Singleton Settlement and Usrytown.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the detailed road network, which preserves historic travel routes such as Old Jackson Rd and Old Hillsboro Rd. The presence of the Old-Union Cem near the northern boundary provides a specific point of interest for family researchers. The map clearly depicts the intersection of these traditional routes with the protected lands of the national forest and the surrounding agricultural timberlands of Scott County.
