About this map

The Leaf River and Bouie River converge in this Mississippi urban landscape, shaping the growth of Hattiesburg and the neighboring community of Petal. Significant educational institutions anchor the area, including the sprawling University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University. The city's civic center is clearly defined by the Forrest County Courthouse and the Paul B Johnson Chancery Building, while the industrial and logistics corridor follows the KCS Railroad south toward Palmers Crossing.

Beyond the city center, the terrain is marked by Tortoise Ridge and numerous watercourses like Priests Cr and Burketts Cr. Local history is preserved in a dense network of burial grounds, from the large Roseland Park Cem to smaller family and community sites such as William Burkett Cem and South Hill Cem. The southern edge of the map features the Hattiesburg Bobby L Chain Municipal Airport, illustrating the modern transportation infrastructure that supports this regional hub.
