About this map

Bienville National Forest encompasses the northern portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of Tallahala Creek and Thompson Creek begin their winding south-ward courses. The map documents a predominantly rural network of county roads connecting small settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds. This distribution of sites, such as the Community Center Missionary Baptist Church Cem and the McCarty Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural homesteads and local congregations.

The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Nuakfuppa Creek and Piney Creek, which flow through the southern half of the quadrangle. Small hubs like Montrose and Louin serve as the primary landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and small-scale farming. Researchers can trace historical property boundaries through the section lines of Township 3 North and Township 2 North, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this part of Mississippi.
