About this map

Mize serves as the central hub for this portion of Smith County, where traditional town planning meets the rural creek valleys of southern Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the significant drainage of Oatohay Cr and Sullivans Hollow Cr, which carve through the terrain near the legendary Sullivans Hollow. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds such as Old Zion Hill Cem, Jones Cem, and Berkhalter Cem.

Industry and local infrastructure are represented by the Mize Lookout Tower, a prominent landmark overlooking the timbered ridges. To the west, Milton and Lake Ross Barnett offer a look at the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the region's agricultural and recreational heritage. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, including numerous numbered county routes that connect smaller communities like New Haven, Bunker Hill, and Smith.
