About this map

Mulberry sits at a remote road junction in the pine-dense interior of the De Soto National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by its shared boundaries, where the corners of Wayne, Perry, and Greene counties converge amidst a network of creek branches. The southern half of the quadrangle reveals a cluster of community life centered on several rural congregations, including Union Grove Ch and Lovewell Ch, along with the associated Union Cem.

A small Gravel Pit near the eastern edge suggests localized industry, but the prevailing character is one of forest management and small, scattered settlements. Notable watercourses like Piney Woods Creek and Thompson Creek drain the terrain, providing natural landmarks for those tracing family property or old routes through this heavily wooded portion of southeast Mississippi. This 1964 field-checked survey offers a precise look at the area before modern road expansions altered the traditional rural corridors.
