About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this territory, where the Leaf River carves a winding path past notable riverbank features like Gin House Bluff and Red Bluff. The terrain is defined by distinct topographical rises, including the Skull Creek Hills, Hillman Hills, and the Gee Dee Hills to the south. Small settlements and localized landmarks are scattered throughout, with Neely situated in the east and Little Creek to the southwest near the county line between Perry and Greene counties.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several established burial grounds such as Sylvester Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Buffalo Cem. The map reveals a network of rural routes named for local families, including Ray Belle Hinton Rd and Bolen Sowell Rd, which connect the disparate hamlets. The complex drainage system of the area is highlighted by numerous watercourses like Gaines Creek, Skull Cr, and the Dantzler-Bond eddy, illustrating the wetland character of this Mississippi piney woods region.
