About this map

The Pearl River winds through the heart of Lawrence County, Mississippi, anchoring the landscape of this 2020 survey. Monticello serves as the focal point, with the Lawrence County Courthouse prominently situated near the riverbanks. The settlement patterns follow a network of historic and modern routes, including the N A Sandifer Memorial Hwy and Old Hwy 27, which connect the town to surrounding areas like Silver Creek to the northeast and Arm in the southeast.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Wilson Cem and Armstrong Cem. The terrain is defined by its small waterways, including Halls Br, Nim Br, and Coopers Cr, which drain into the main river channel. Local transit and agricultural history are further evidenced by Clay Airport and various rural connectors like Ferguson Mill Rd and Old St Stephens Rd.
