About this map

Buffalo River and its intricate network of bayous and creeks dominate this southwest Mississippi landscape near the Adams and Wilkinson county line. The settlement of Lessley serves as a central point in a region defined by its hydrography, including the oxbow-like Lake Mary and Foster Lake to the west. This 2020 survey reveals a rural area where life is still oriented around the water, with Alligator Bayou and Dixons Bayou feeding into larger drainage systems.

Local history is preserved at the Courtney Cem along Beaver Creek Rd, reflecting the generational footprint of this riverine territory. The map details an extensive system of rural routes such as Pleasant Valley Rd and Old Hwy 24 509 W, which connect isolated homesteads to the winding courses of Beaver Cr and White Cr. This modern data provides a clear view of the existing topography and property divisions within the traditional land survey system.
