About this map

The Chickasawhay River winds through this section of Greene County, shaping a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and floodplain features. Numerous oxbows and named water bodies such as Colonel Merrill Lake, Rattlesnake Lake, and Dressler Hammond Dead River illustrate the river's historical shifts and abandoned channels. Elevated positions along the banks are marked by Roberts Bluff and Shell Bluff, which overlook the dense network of tributaries including Gatling Cr and Conn Cr.

Family history is preserved at local burial sites like Williams Cem, Green Lodge Cem, and Coward Place Cem. The infrastructure of the area is anchored by Miller Bridge, providing a crossing point over the main river channel. This map documents a rural Mississippi landscape where timber and water resources have long dictated the pattern of development and movement, visible in the named rural routes such as Palestine Garden Rd and Bexley Rd N.
