2018 Map of Morgantown

About this map

The Pearl River dictates the landscape of Marion County in this contemporary survey, winding past the notable geological formation at Red Bluff. This area, characterized by a series of small, interconnected rural communities, shows a pattern of settlement anchored by family-named roads and numerous country burial grounds. From the northern bend at White Bluff down through Newsom and Morgantown, the geography is defined by a network of creeks including Richland Cr and Holiday Cr. Local history is preserved in the location of several significant sites such as Richland Creek Cem and Oak Grove Cem. Aviation interests are represented by the Circle Bar Ranch Airport, which sits among the dispersed homesteads and farms of the Holly Springs area, illustrating the enduring rural character of this southern Mississippi river valley.
