About this map

Mount Carmel and Clem sit at the center of this rural landscape in Jefferson Davis and Covington Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the Bouie River, White Sand Creek, and Jaybird Creek, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Ferry Magee Rd and Whitesand Church Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family and community burial grounds. Researchers can find locations for the Old Mount Harmony Cem, Point Pleasant Cem, and McWorthy Cem, alongside the Whitesand Church. The map's detailed road network, from Smith-Jones Rd to Sam Durr Rd, provides a clear view of the dispersed settlement pattern that has persisted in this portion of Mississippi through the early 21st century.
