2018 Map of McComb South

About this map

Magnolia and the southern reaches of McComb serve as the primary hubs in this section of Pike County, connected by the busy corridor of the Illinois Central RR. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Little Tangipahoa River and Minnehaha River, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous established family and community burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich, identifying dozens of sites such as Hollywood Cem, Ansel Prewitt Cem, and Alfred Cook Cem. Industrial and civic growth is evident in the presence of the Mc Comb/Pike County Airport/John E Lewis Field and the community of Fernwood, while smaller settlements like Bear Town and Kirkville anchor the local geography. The concentration of cemeteries throughout the rural sections suggests a deeply rooted local history and long-standing family landholdings in the region.
