About this map

Leaf River oxbows and swampy bottomlands dominate this Greene County landscape, where the water has carved a complex network of named ponds and cut-off lakes. The community of McLain serves as the primary hub, situated near Dunnam Field and the McLain Cem. Smaller settlements like Leaf, Royce, and Progress are connected by a web of local roads such as Old Federay Rd and McLeod Loop, reflecting the rural distribution of family homesteads and timber operations.

Water features define the eastern half of the map, including the curiously named Cotton Patch Lakes, Daughdrill Dead Lake, and Swan Lake. Significant landmarks for local history include the Leaf Lookout Tower and several community burial grounds like Mount Nebo Cem and Leaf Cem. The winding course of Big Oktibee Cr and Holy Cr further illustrate the low-lying, hydrologically active nature of this Mississippi piney woods region.
