About this map

Magee and the rural lands of southern Simpson County define this landscape at the edge of the Piney Woods. The settlement pattern here is anchored by a dense network of country burial grounds, reflecting the lineage of local families in sites such as Rials Creek Cem, Old Saint Peter Cem, and Hen Magee Cem. These sites, along with others like the Macedonia Cem and Saint John Cem, offer a rich spatial record for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is drained by numerous small watercourses, including the Bouie River, Rials Cr, and Skiffer Cr, which wind through a patchwork of timber and open land. Transport infrastructure is concentrated around the Magee Municipal Airport and a grid of rural roads named for established families, such as James Boyakin Barnett Rd and Dick Welch Rd, indicating a long history of local land ownership and community development.
