2012 Map of Hattiesburg SW

About this map

Hennington Lake and Lake Serene South anchor the center of this landscape, illustrating the residential development patterns that expanded west of the primary city center. The map documents a blend of established rural communities and newer subdivisions, where the topography is defined by the winding paths of Perkins Creek and Mixons Creek. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Rawls Cemetery, Bellvue Cemetery, and Grantham Cemetery, provides a vital spatial record for genealogists tracking local family histories in Forrest County. Further north, the settlement of Clyde sits along Old Hwy 42, while the transition toward suburban living is evident in neighborhoods like Country Club Estates and Oak Forrest. The hydrography is particularly detailed, tracing the headwaters of Black Creek and Little Black Creek as they move through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
