About this map

Latimer and the surrounding piney woods of Jackson County are defined by a complex network of coastal tributaries and historic timberlands. The landscape is dominated by the Desoto National Forest, where a grid of rural roads like Old Biloxi Rd and University Rd provide access to the interior. Waterways such as Bluff Creek and Bayou Costapia wind through the terrain, illustrating the low-lying drainage patterns typical of the Mississippi Gulf Coast hinterlands.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved here, including Wilkerson Cem, Good Hope Cem, and Seymour Cem. The presence of these family and community landmarks, alongside legacy routes like the Jim Ramsey Loop, reflects the deep-rooted settlement history of the area. This survey documents the intersection of modern rural development and the enduring natural features of the coastal plain.
