2018 Map of Hattiesburg SW

About this map

Hattiesburg expands westward into the rolling timberlands and watershed divides of the Forrest Co and Lamar Co border. This modern landscape is defined by the growth of suburban residential patterns around Oak Grove and smaller settlements like Clyde. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across this quadrangle, including the Old Eaton Cem, Oral Cem, and Rawls Cem, which provide anchors for tracing local family lineages. The terrain is marked by significant water features such as Hennington Lake and Cole Lake, while the high ground of Tallulah Ridge overlooks the various drainages of Big Creek and Perkins Creek. The intricate road network, featuring names like Old Hwy 42 and Marais Ridge, illustrates the 21st-century transition from rural farmland to a more developed residential corridor west of the city center.
