About this map

Oak Grove and the surrounding rural communities of Akron and Cullum anchor this topographic view of eastern Kemper County, Mississippi. The landscape is defined by its deep hydrological network, with the Sucarnoochee River and Pawticfaw Cr carving distinct paths through the wooded terrain. Historically significant locations for genealogists are well-documented, including several isolated burial grounds such as Macedonia Cem and Bethany Springs Cem.

The presence of numerous timber-related road names, such as Georgia-Pacific Rd and Weyerhaeuser Rd, highlights the importance of the forestry industry in the local economy. Notable landmarks like the Porterville Lookout Tower sit atop higher elevations, providing a sense of the area's vertical orientation. This survey serves as a record of the intricate rural road system, connecting small settlements through routes like Union Springs Rd and Kemper Springs St John Rd.
