About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders through this portion of Greene County, creating a complex corridor of oxbow lakes and wetlands. Distinctive features like Dressler Hammond Dead River, Colonel Merrill Lake, and Redbird Lake illustrate the shifting path of the river over time. Elevated points along the banks, such as Roberts Bluff and Shell Bluff, provide topographic relief in an otherwise low-lying fluvial landscape.

Rural infrastructure is anchored by Miller Bridge and a network of family-named roads like Gatling Creek Rd and Aden Ball Rd. For genealogists, the presence of several small burial grounds including Pine Grove Cem, Green Lodge Cem, and Coward Place Cem provides specific points of interest for family history research. The map also documents numerous smaller tributaries, such as Big Creek and Conn Creek, that feed into the primary river system.
