About this map

Bogue Chitto Creek meanders through this agricultural and creek-bottom landscape south of Marion, where a complex network of water management features defines the northwestern terrain. The area is home to the expansive Lakeland Farms operations, which utilize a series of numbered dams such as Lakeland Farms Dam Number Eighteen and Lakeland Farms Dam Number Ten to create local reservoirs including Lake Will, Lake Eva, and Lake Heart.

Smaller rural hubs like Hamburg and Norman are connected by a web of county roads that navigate the drainage basins of Rice Creek and Chaney Creek. For those researching family history in Perry County, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Pinecrest Memorial Cemetery, Mars Hill Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the concentrated pond systems near Vaiden to the more open creek valleys that dominate the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
