2024 Map of McAfee

About this map

The Pearl River winds through this rural landscape in Leake County, where the settlement of McAfee and the crossing at Boyds Ferry define the northern terrain. This area is characterized by a network of small, dispersed communities including Freeny, Free Trade, and Standing Pine, many of which developed around crossroads and timber resources. The presence of numerous historical burying grounds, such as Galilee Missionary Baptist Church Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Standing Pine Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who settled this region between Lobutcha Creek and Standing Pine Creek. To the south, the village of Estesmill and the community of Rosebud sit among the headwaters of Crowder Creek, reflecting a late-modern landscape still deeply tied to its geographic roots in central Mississippi.
