About this map

The town of Magee serves as a hub for this portion of southern Mississippi, where the Piney Woods landscape is divided by the waters of Okatoma Creek and Uspoha Creek. This recent survey details a network of timberlands and rural communities at the intersection of Simpson, Smith, and Covington Counties. Further south, the settlement of Mount Olive anchors the bottom of the map, while the smaller junction at Saratoga marks a historical transit point between the larger towns.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of well-documented burial sites and rural congregations. Features such as Coat Baptist Church Cemetery, Siloam Baptist Church Cemetery, and the McNair Cemetery provide specific location data for family researchers. The presence of the McNair Millpond on the western edge of the Okatoma drainage suggests long-standing land use patterns that have shaped local industry for generations.
