About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Smith County landscape, where the headwaters of the Leaf River and numerous small branches carve through the terrain. The eastern edge of Raleigh and the settlement of Sylvarena anchor the southern half of the map, connected by a network of rural routes including Sylvarena Ave and Co RD 501-2. This 2018 survey reveals a territory dense with genealogical markers, showcasing a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds such as Old Henderson Cem, Sylvan Grove Cem, and Royals and Webb Cem. The geography is defined by narrow drainage systems like Shongelo Cr and Tuhusa Cr, which weave around prominent elevations like Flat Rock Hill. Local spiritual life is centered at sites like High Hill Baptist Church Cem and Mount Nebo Baptist Church Cem, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern typical of this Mississippi pine belt region.
