About this map

New Augusta serves as the focal point of this Perry County landscape, anchored by the Perry County Courthouse near the banks of the Leaf River. The settlement pattern follows the meandering river and the established routes of Old Hwy 24 and Willow St, connecting the town to nearby Mahned and Wingate. A significant portion of the southern geography is dedicated to MTA Camp Shelby and the protected lands of the De Soto National Forest, illustrating the intersection of military training grounds and conservation areas in southern Mississippi.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Hollimon Cem, McSwain Cem, and Ferguson Cem. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Mahned Bridge crossing the Leaf River and a network of named tracks like Old Augusta Rd and Buck Creek Rd, which trace the historical movement of residents between small communities like Belleville and Redhill.
