About this map

Leesburg Prairie and Rollison Prairie characterize the open, rolling landscape of this region on the border of Rankin and Scott counties. The area is defined by a dense network of local cemeteries and small crossroads settlements, including Pisgah, Bilbros Corner, and West Leesburg. These landmarks, such as Mount Pisgah Cem and the Hollybush Cem, offer significant detail for genealogical research in this rural corridor.

Waterways like Fannegusha Cr and Hollybush Cr wind through the township grids, supporting a landscape primarily navigated by local routes such as Bobby McRay Memorial Dr and Old Hwy 43. The presence of several distinct prairie regions amidst the creeks suggests a unique ecological transition within the Mississippi interior, where traditional agriculture and family homesteads have long centered around landmarks like Oak Grove Cem and Rehobeth Cem.
