2012 Map of Henleyfield

About this map

The Pearl River and its complex network of side channels like Ox Lot Slough, Back Bayou, and Gum Bayou dominate this landscape along the Mississippi-Louisiana border. The region's historical burial sites are well-documented, with family-named grounds such as Duffys Cem, Pounds Cem, and McGehee Cem scattered among the rural roads east of the river. The small settlements of Henleyfield, Chinquapin, and Cybur anchor the upland areas, connected by a dense web of local routes including Byad Chapel Rd and Sollie Smith Rd. Engineering is visible at the Pearl River and Pearl River Canal Pool N, while distinctive terrain features like Pools Bluff and Red Bluff overlook the shifting river bends. This survey documents the area's intricate drainage before the river reaches the gulf, featuring numerous named creeks such as McGehee Cr and Hells Gate Bayou.
