2015 Map of Hattiesburg SW

About this map

Clyde and Oak Grove anchor this 2015 study of the suburban and rural landscape west of Hattiesburg, where the Forrest and Lamar County lines meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of residential development surrounding significant water bodies like Lake Serene South and Hennington Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several smaller burial grounds, including Rawles Cem near the former rail corridor and Grantham Cem to the south. The transition from industrial rail history to modern recreation is evident in the Rails To Trl conversion near Old Highway 42. Further south, the landscape is drained by Black Creek and its tributaries, while the eastern edge shows the expansion of West Hattiesburg and residential communities like East Lakewood and Oak Forrest.
