2012 Map of Monticello NE

About this map

The Pearl River winds through the western reaches of Lawrence County, Mississippi, shaping a landscape defined by its floodplains and tributary creeks. This 2012 survey captures the rural character of the area around the settlements of Ferguson and Hooker, where small family-named cemeteries such as North Pleasant Hill Cem, Cliburn Cem, and Stephens Cem provide significant genealogical markers for local history researchers. The presence of Sills Ferry Rd hints at historic river crossings that once linked these isolated communities across the water. Large oxbow features like Sutton Lake and Cammack-Young Lake illustrate the river's shifting path over time. The map's dense network of roads, including Fergerson Mill Rd and Ray Cliburn Rd, connects numerous homesteads and agricultural tracts, reflecting the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Piney Woods region.
