About this map

The Chickasawhay River dominates the central and southern reaches of this Greene County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and swampy lowlands. High ground is marked by prominent features like Roberts Bluff and Shell Bluff, while the shifting course of the river has left behind significant backwater features including Miller Dead River, Dressler-Hammond Dead River, and the Colonel Merrill Lake.

Upland areas are defined by local family names and landmarks such as Green Lodge Cem and Williams Cem, connected by a web of rural routes like Gatlin Creek Rd and Vernal River Rd. The map detail preserves the location of Miller Bridge crossing the lower river, along with numerous smaller water bodies such as Spring Lake, Round Lake, and Bear Pond Br, illustrating the deep hydrological character of this southeastern Mississippi river valley.
