About this map

Clyde and the western suburban reaches of Hattiesburg define the landscape of this contemporary survey, where the boundary between Forrest County and Lamar County bisects a region of expanding residential development and natural drainage. The area is characterized by several water bodies, most notably Cole Lake and Hennington Lake, which are fed by systems like Perkins Creek and Sandy Run. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including Oral Cem, Rawls Cem, and Bellvue Cem.

The residential fabric is marked by established neighborhoods such as Oak Grove, West Hattiesburg, and Arnold Line, interconnected by a network of local roads like Old Hwy 24 and Old Hwy 42. Large-scale developments like Pecan Acres and Canebrake Blvd sit alongside natural features such as Marais Ridge, illustrating the modern balance between the growing outskirts of the city and the original topography of the Black Creek and Little Black Creek watersheds.
