About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the western landscape of this central Mississippi region, where the border of Newton and Jasper counties cuts through a network of creeks and small crossroads settlements. Small communities like Roberts, Baxter, and Garlandville are connected by a web of rural roads, including State Hwy 505 and Boutwell Rd, reflecting a landscape defined by forestry and small-scale agriculture. The southern edge of the map features the town of Montrose, positioned near the headwaters of the winding Tallahoma Cr.

Hydrology is a primary characteristic of the terrain, with numerous drainage systems such as Scotchenflipper Cr, Souenlovie Cr, and Thompson Cr carving through the wooded hills. For local historians and genealogists, the presence of the Randall Hill Cem near the center of the survey provides a specific point of interest for tracing early family roots in this rural area during the early 21st century.
