2015 Map of Oma

About this map

Oma, Sontag, and Tryus define the rural crossroads of this region where Copiah, Lawrence, and Lincoln Counties meet. This landscape is intricately carved by a dense network of watercourses, including Bahala Creek, Bear Cr, and the winding Saddlebags Cr. The topographic detail reveals a settlement pattern tied to these creeks and a legacy of timber and agriculture, evidenced by roads like Loblolly Farm Rd and Stronghope Rd. Researchers will find the Fair Hill Cem located near Tryus, while the eastern edge of the map features Wanilla and Cammack-Young Lake. The transition from upland ridges to creek bottoms like Johnson Br and Old Spring Br illustrates the varied drainage patterns that historically influenced local road placement and farmstead locations in this part of Mississippi.
