About this map

The Pearl River winds through the western reaches of this Lawrence County landscape, creating a broad floodplain characterized by oxbows like Sutton Lake and Cammack-Young Lake. Near the southern border, the settlement of Ferguson sits along the rail line, while the community of Hooker is situated further east. This area is defined by a dense network of local roads named for prominent families and landmarks, such as Sills Ferry Rd and Billy Newsom Rd, reflecting a long-standing rural settlement pattern.

Genealogists will find several burial sites throughout the terrain, including North Pleasant Hill Cem, Stephens Cem, and Cliburn Cem. The drainage network is particularly intricate, with Hurricane Cr, Bahala Creek, and Fair River carving through the hills. This map documents the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the mid-2010s, maintaining its historical focus on land divisions and community landmarks.
