2012 Map of Monticello

About this map

Monticello serves as the focal point of this Lawrence County landscape, situated where several major transport routes converge near the winding path of the Pearl River. The river's meandering course dominates the central terrain, joined by tributaries like Fair River, Halls Cr, and Nim Br. The rural character of the region is evident in the network of family-named roads and established memorial routes, including the N A Sandifer Memorial Hwy. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the presence of Wilson Cem in the northwest and Armstrong Cem to the northeast. Small aviation is represented by Clay Airport, while the community of Arm marks the southeastern reach of the map near the banks of Silver Cr. This survey captures the relationship between the riverine environment and the settled infrastructure of south-central Mississippi in the early 21st century.
