About this map

The Buffalo River and the winding Belmont Slough dominate this Wilkinson County landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses. The small settlement of Laneheart sits positioned along Beaver Creek Rd, serving as a central point in an area defined by its hydrology and timberland. The map reveals a rural drainage pattern where Little Beaver Cr and Sandy Cr feed into the larger river system, while Horseshoe Lake remains as a distinct oxbow feature near the northern boundary.

Local family history is anchored by several small burial grounds, including Pioneer Cem near the Buffalo River and Westberry Cem further south. These sites, along with Hays Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of these river lowlands. The road network, including Woodville-Laneheart Rd and W Poorhouse Rd, follows the higher ground between the frequent sloughs and creek bottoms.
