2018 Map of McNeill

About this map

The community of McNeill and the nearby settlement of Hawthorne anchor this portion of Pearl River County, defined by the winding course of West Hobolochitto Creek and its many tributaries. The landscape is a mix of lowland brakes and creek bottoms, including Henry Brake and Riley Brake, interspersed with small aviation hubs like Hooper-Skylark Field and Greener Pastures Airpark. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the area, such as Holleman Cem and Smith Cem, which speak to the rural heritage of the region. Transportation is dominated by the NS railroad corridor passing through the heart of the settlements, paralleling a network of local roads that lead to landmarks like Sones Chapel and the distinctively named Rabbit Hollow. The map captures the interface between the drainage basins of Mill Creek and Price Cr as they navigate the varying elevations of the piney woods.
