2024 Map of McComb South

About this map

The Illinois Central RR corridor serves as the backbone for this section of Pike County, anchoring a series of settlements from McComb in the north through Bear Town, Fernwood, and into the county seat at Magnolia. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the Little Tangipahoa River and Minnehaha River, which carve through the terrain alongside major modern thoroughfares like I-55 and Us-98. Local governance and infrastructure are centered at the Pike County Courthouse and the McComb/Pike County Airport/John E Lewis Field. For those tracing family histories, the map is densely populated with small burial grounds such as Hollywood Cem, Navilla Cem, and Ansel Prewitt Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community fabric of the rural area surrounding these established rail towns.
