About this map

Lucedale serves as the central hub of this George County landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes and historical rail corridors. The town layout is densely marked with community landmarks, including Rhymes Cem, Northside Cem, and the Magnolia Garden Cem. Just to the southeast lies Evanston, a smaller settlement positioned near the confluence of Depot Cr and other local waterways. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by family-named landmarks and an extensive network of creeks, such as Beaverdam Cr and Little Cedar Cr, which drain the undulating terrain.

Several country burial grounds, such as Taylor Cem and Ward Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, providing valuable reference points for genealogical research. The presence of Bird Nest Airport in the northern reach and the New Antioch Ch to the southwest illustrate the ongoing development of this Mississippi community as it balances its agricultural roots with local infrastructure and industry.
