About this map

The meandering Pearl River creates a complex border between Louisiana and Mississippi, defining the landscape of Washington Parish and Pearl River County. Near the northern edge, the industrial outskirts of Bogalusa transition into a riverine environment marked by features like Pools Bluff and the Pearl River Canal. The floodplain is a labyrinth of water bodies including Ox Lot Slough, George Lake, and Back Bayou, reflecting the dynamic nature of this waterway.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and resting places scattered throughout the region, such as Duffys Cem, Sheridan Cem, and McGehee Cem. Small communities like Henleyfield and Cybur serve as local hubs in Mississippi, while terrain features like Red Bluff and Shepherd's Hill provide vertical relief in an otherwise low-lying area dominated by drainages like Cypress Bayou and Bogue Chitto.
