About this map

St. Francis National Forest dominates the terrain of this Mississippi Delta region, where the steep loess bluffs of Crowley's Ridge meet the alluvial bottomlands. The settlement of Lagrange sits at the western edge of the forest, while small communities like Jeffersonville and Phillips Bayou are situated near the winding course of the Saint Francis River. This survey captures the complex hydrology of the area, featuring numerous oxbows and river bends such as Jeffersonville Bend and Hale Bend.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds tucked into the forest and along county roads, including Trinity Cem, Lagrange Cem, and Morning Star Cem. The transition from the high ground of Robinson Hill and Morrells Hill to the low-lying waters of Bear Cr Lake and Jake Lake illustrates the distinctive geography that has shaped land use and transportation in Lee and Phillips counties.
