About this map

De Soto National Forest covers much of this landscape, where the borders of Wayne, Perry, and Greene Counties converge. The settlement of Mulberry serves as a focal point for the northern portion of the map, while numerous country churches and cemeteries provide critical touchstones for local family histories. Spiritual life is well-documented with sites like Pineview Ch, Union Grove Ch, and Mt Zion Ch with its adjacent Mt Zion Ch Cem.

A network of small creeks and branches, including Gunstock Creek and Piney Woods Creek, drains the rolling terrain between these rural communities. The map reflects a 1964 landscape with 1980s updates, shown in purple, highlighting shifts in land use and vegetation. Economic activity of the era is represented by a Gravel Pit near Sand Hill Creek, while the presence of the Union Cem and Hickory Grove Cem offers genealogists specific locations for tracing historic family lineages in this corner of Mississippi.
