2012 Map of Neely

About this map

Leaf River dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its winding course punctuated by features like Gin House Bluff, Red Bluff, and Breland Eddy. The surrounding terrain transitions into the upland Hillman Hills and Gee Dee Hills, separated by a dense network of tributaries including Gaines Cr and Atkinson Cr. The settlement of Neely sits in the east, while the smaller community of Little Creek lies along the southern edge, connected by a series of family-named rural routes such as Hogpen Rd and Arch Turner Rd. Local genealogy and land use patterns are anchored by several burial grounds, including Sylvester Cem, Buffalo Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The map reveals a working southern landscape defined by timber-era landmarks like Dantzler Pond and Pauls Stumps, alongside geographical points like Mossy Hammock and Steep Hollow.
