About this map

Monticello sits along the western banks of the Pearl River, serving as a central hub for Lawrence County in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its many tributaries, including Fair River, Halls Cr, and Sellers Creek, which create a complex wetland environment throughout the lowlands. Local transportation is anchored by the N A Sandifer Memorial Hwy and Old Hwy 27, which connect the main settlement to outlying areas like Silver Creek and Arm.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several family and community landmarks, such as Wilson Cem, Stephens Cem, and Armstrong Cem. The presence of Clay Airport north of the town center and the network of rural roads like Arm Rd and Old St Stephens Rd reflect the modern infrastructure laid over the traditional agrarian layout of the region. The map provides a clear view of the intersection between the river-valley terrain and the long-standing community footprints of central Mississippi.
