2015 Map of House

About this map

DeWeese and the settlement of House anchor this rural landscape along the border of Neshoba and Kemper counties. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Okatibbee Cr and the upper reaches of Bogue Chitto. A strong genealogical record is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Hesters Chapel Cem, Old Herbert Cem, and McDonald Cem. The Old Jackson Rd serves as a primary east-west corridor, cutting through the terrain near the small landing strip at Mc Lain - Calico Airport. This mapping illustrates a persistent pattern of small-scale settlement where modern infrastructure like MS-486 and MS-491 follows the established paths of older county roads and creek valleys.
