2015 Map of Lessley

About this map

The Buffalo River and its intricate network of bayous and creeks dominate this portion of the Wilkinson County and Adams County line. The settlement of Lessley serves as a central point in a landscape defined by water and woods, where Dixons Bayou and Alligator Bayou drain the lower bottomlands. This 2015 survey shows the persistent rural character of the region, where family and local history are anchored by landmarks such as the Courtney Cem near Beaver Creek Rd. The terrain is marked by numerous small drainages like Peggy Row Br and Bullet Br, which carve through the elevations between the river and Percy Cr. Transport in the area remains focused on local routes like MS-24 W and Lake Mary Rd, reflecting a landscape where the hydrology of the river basin continues to shape the placement of homes and roads.
