2015 Map of Hillsdale

About this map

Lumberton and Hillsdale anchor this South Mississippi landscape where the southern edge of the DeSoto National Forest meets a series of family-named settlements and cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Wolf River and its numerous tributaries, including Alligator Cr, Murder Cr, and Hickory Cr. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Heber Ladner Dr and Gumpond Beall Rd, which connect rural residences to historic burial grounds like the Lumpkin Cem and Ladner Cem. A cluster of residential developments around Happiness Lake and Catfish Lake demonstrates how the local landscape has been shaped for recreation, while the Lamar and Pearl River county line bisects the northern reach near the Lumberton City Cem.
