About this map

Old Augusta and the current town of New Augusta anchor this study of the Leaf River basin in Perry County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and its numerous tributaries, including Tallabala Cr, Denham Cr, and Milky Cr. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, such as Nichols Cem, Hollimon Cem, McSwain Cem, and Stevens Cem, often located near early homestead routes like Hollimon Cemetery Rd.

Industrial and military footprints are visible through the Davis KD Range and the crossing at Mahned Bridge. Small communities like Mahned, Wingate, and Sweetwater are connected by a network of local roads and forestry routes, including Forest Service 304, illustrating the rural development of the region. The proximity of Old Augusta Boat Ramp to the original townsite highlights the enduring importance of the river for both transport and recreation.
