About this map

Industrial and the surrounding river bottomlands are defined by the winding confluence of the Bogue Chitto and the Pearl River along the Mississippi-Louisiana border. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape of complex waterways, where islands like McCarty Island and Hutchinson Island are formed by a network of sloughs and bayous. The settlement patterns follow the higher ground near the river bluffs, evidenced by Walkiah Bluff and Stewarts Bluff on the eastern bank.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Copper Cem, Hebron Cem, and Thomas Cem. The map also records the persistent river economy through sites like Old Tar Landing and Leslies Landing, while naming distinctive terrain features such as Parkers Hammock and Cow Pen Bend. The dense network of local roads, such as Walkiah Bluff Rd and Simon Seal Rd, indicates the transition from the forested lowlands to the more established uplands.
