About this map

The Pearl River winds through this Marion County landscape, defining the character of small communities like Morgantown and Newsom. At this time in the early 21st century, the region's economy remains tied to the land, evidenced by the Morgantown Oil Field, Greens Creek Oil Field, and Newson Oil Field. These industrial sites are interspersed with the quiet markers of local heritage, including Holly Springs Cem, Mount Sinai Cem, and Richland Creek Cem.

Transportation and commerce follow the river's path and a network of rural roads such as Clem Thornhill Rd and Tolar Rd. The map also captures specialized facilities like the Circle Bar Ranch Airport near Holly Springs. From the high ground at White Bluff to the southern reach of Richland Creek, the sheet provides a detailed view of the interaction between the waterway and the settlements of Goss and Red Bluff.
