About this map

McHenry and Howison stand as the primary settlements in this rural Harrison County landscape, situated along a north-south corridor that parallels the Biloxi River. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Hickman Cem, Bond Cem, and the D C Wedgeworth Cem. One of the most significant historical markers is the Yellow Fever Cem, which serves as a silent witness to past epidemics in the region.

The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways such as Indian Turner Br, Crooked Cr, and Beaver Dam Br. This 2012 survey illustrates how modern development, like the Pecan Grove Recreational Vehicle Park near Saucier, coexists with long-established family homesteads. The naming conventions of local roads, such as Steven Hickman Rd and Ross Garner Rd, reflect the deep genealogical roots of the families who settled this part of Mississippi.
