About this map

The Leaf River winds through the heart of this Perry and Greene County landscape, defining a region where river bottomlands meet the rising elevations of the Hillman Hills and Skull Creek Hills. Within the protected boundaries of the Desoto National Forest, the terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Gin House Bluff and Red Bluff, while local water bodies like Dantzler Pond and Breland Eddy highlight the area's hydraulic character.

Settlement patterns center on the community of Neely and various family-named landmarks that are vital for genealogical research. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Buffalo Cem, and two locations for Sylvester Cem. The map documents an extensive network of rural routes, including Hintonville Rd and Avera Neely Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads and cemeteries across the diverse terrain of Mossy Hammock and Steep Hollow.
