2012 Map of Hillsdale

About this map

The Wolf River and its numerous tributaries, including Hickory Cr and Alligator Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Pearl River County landscape. In the early 21st century, the area shows a mix of rural residential development and recreational infrastructure, most notably around the waters of Happiness Lake and Hillsdale Lake. The presence of the Wolf River Ranch Airport and the Hillsdale Golf Course suggests a shift toward modern land use, while the density of family-named cemeteries such as Felix Ladner Cem, Lumpkin Cem, and Byrd Line Cem provides a deep record of local lineage. The community of Hillsdale sits at a crossroads of several local thoroughfares, while the northern reaches include an Industrial Park near Lumberton City Cem. Swamplands like Bee Tree Brake and Grandpa Brake persist in the low-lying areas near the river.
