New Augusta serves as the focal point of this Mississippi landscape, situated along the Leaf River just south of its confluence with Tallabala Creek. The map documents the seat of local government at the Perry County Courthouse and traces the rural settlements of Mahned, Wingate, and Redhill. Much of the southern and western portions of the quadrangle are occupied by the extensive lands of the De Soto National Forest and the northern reaches of Camp Shelby, indicating the region's heavy reliance on timber and military activity. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Good Hope Cem, Ferguson Cem, and Hinton Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Milky Creek and Cypress Creek carve through the forested lowlands, illustrating the natural water-driven geography of Perry County.
