2012 Map of Lumberton

About this map

Lumberton anchors this region of southern Mississippi, where the grid-like streets of the town give way to a network of rural roads and creek drainages. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Little Black Creek and Red Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements like Talowah and Wells Town. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites identified across the township, including Samuel Slade Cemetery, Slade Cemetery, and the Corinth Cemetery near the northern boundary. Transportation and infrastructure are highlighted by the presence of Freedom Strip Airport and the I H Bass Jr Memorial Airport, while place names like Boggy Hollow and Carters Reed Brake offer insight into the local wetlands and topography.
