Ferguson and Pines Ferry occupy the lowlands along the winding Pearl River in this part of Lawrence County. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage system, where Crooked Creek and Hurricane Creek feed into the river basin near Young Lake. This 2024 data captures a rural territory still shaped by legacy road networks and family-named landmarks. Numerous small burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including the Buckley Thompson Historical Cem and North Pleasant Hill Cem, serving as vital anchors for genealogical research in the region. The map illustrates a contemporary view of traditional Mississippi timberland and river bottom topography, showing how the local road system, including Sills Ferry Rd and Old Hwy 27, continues to follow the natural contours of the land and ancient river crossings.
