2018 Map of McLain

About this map

The Leaf River carves a winding path through the center of this terrain, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and bottomlands such as Daughdrill Dead Lake and Hillman Dead River. Situated at the intersection of the Perry Co and Greene Co line, the town of McLain serves as a primary settlement point, supported by an aviation link at Dunnam Field. The surrounding territory is heavily integrated with the De Soto National Forest, where small communities like Leaf and Royce are connected by a network of rural routes including Old Federal RD. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family and community burial sites, including Mclain Cem, Mount Nebo Cem, and Merritt Cem. The presence of Mta Camp Shelby in the western portion indicates the area's role in military training operations within the national forest boundaries.
