About this map

Mulberry and its surrounding timberlands sit at the intersection of three counties, where the De Soto National Forest and the Chickasawhay State Wildlife Management Area dominate the rolling Mississippi landscape. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Thompson Creek and Gunstock Creek, which shaped the early settlement patterns and logging routes of the region.

A strong religious and community identity is evident in the cluster of rural sanctuaries and burial grounds found throughout the quadrangle. From the Pineview Ch in the northwest to Mt Zion Ch in the south, these sites, alongside Hickory Grove Cem and Union Cem, provide critical touchpoints for family historians. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous named branches like Rasher Branch and Spring Branch highlights the local reliance on natural resources and the creek-fed geography of the Wayne and Perry county line.
