About this map

West Hobolochitto Creek meanders through this portion of Pearl River County, defining a landscape shaped by creek bottomlands and aviation. The settlement of McNeill serves as a local hub near the eastern edge, while Hawthorne lies just to the south. The area is notable for its numerous private airstrips and small airfields, including Hooper Skylark Field, George Ford Airport, and the Greener Pastures Airpark, suggesting a community with a strong connection to light aircraft and rural flight.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites such as Holliman Cemetery, Mitchell Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery situated among the various branches and brakes. The terrain is marked by water features like Mill Creek, Cowpen Branch, and the swampy reaches of Henry Brake and Riley Brake. In the southwest, Ellis Field and Whitehead Cemetery provide additional points of interest for those tracing family roots in this corner of Mississippi.
