About this map

The timberlands and creek drainages of the De Soto National Forest dominate this early 1980s survey of the Pine Belt region. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the D C Wedgeworth Cem, Dosa Wedgeworth Cem, and the uniquely named Yellow Fever Cem near McHenry.

Industry and transport follow the corridor of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which links the settlements of Perry, Howison, and Saucier. The landscape is a network of watercourses like Silver Run and Hickory Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of Stone and Harrison Counties before modern expansion. This provisional map also delineates the Little Biloxi State Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the longstanding commitment to conservation in this part of Mississippi.
