2015 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

Oak Grove sits at the heart of this landscape, where the local road network converges among the drainage basins of eastern Kemper County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Sucarnoochee River in the northeast and the expansive reaches of Pawticfaw Cr and Blackwater Cr to the south. Small settlements like Akron and Cullum anchor the corners of the sheet, connected by a web of rural routes such as Firetower Rd and Porterville-Townsend Rd. This area is particularly notable for its scattered burial grounds, including Macedonia Cem, Bethany Springs Cem, and Center Ridge Cem, which suggest the deep-rooted family histories of these rural Mississippi communities. Large-scale timber management is evident through the presence of roads named for industrial interests, including Weyer Houser Rd and Georgia-Pacific Rd, highlighting the intersection of traditional settlement patterns and modern land use.
