About this map

The confluence of the Yookanookany River and the Pearl River defines this portion of central Mississippi during the late 1980s. The landscape is a intricate network of bottomland waterways and oxbows, including Elbow Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Alligator Lake, which sit between the high ground of the Government Hills to the northeast and the river floodplains to the south. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure centered on family and community, anchored by the Forest Grove Ch and Greenwood Ch near the Madison and Leake County lines.

Transportation corridors like the Natchez Trace Parkway cut across the terrain, while the remnants of an Old Railroad Grade trace the historical movement of goods through the river valley. Small clusters of settlement at Ofahoma, Wiggins, and Drysdale are visible alongside local recreation sites such as the Leake Co Water Park, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the Pearl River system for both travel and leisure.
