2015 Map of Lake Mary

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex landscape of shifting borders and landforms where Mississippi meets Louisiana. Significant topographic features like Steward Island, Johnson Island, and Big Island are defined by an intricate network of waterways including the Homochitto Cutoff, The Canal, and the large oxbow of Lake Mary. This river-driven geography is dotted with evidence of long-standing family and community life, such as Artonish and Loch Leven. Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites throughout the floodplain, including the Loch Leven Cem, McCoy Cem, and Good Hope Cem. The southern reach of the map shows the winding Buffalo River and Belmont Slough, while the hills to the east are crossed by rural tracks like Percy Creek Sand Rd and Old Millbrook Creek Rd.
