2024 Map of Orvisburg

About this map

Orvisburg and its surrounding landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and timbered wetlands in Pearl River County. The topography is shaped by the southward flow of West Hobolochitto Creek and Beaverdam Creek, with Orvisburg Lake serving as a central point of interest just south of the main settlement area. For those researching family ties to this part of Mississippi, the Orvisburg Cem remains a primary landmark. The road network, including Baxterville Rd and Stanford Lake Rd, navigates around numerous drainage features like Little Hell Creek, White Sand Creek, and the swampy grounds of Green Brake. This modern survey reveals how the local geography continues to be dictated by the creeks and branches that have historically supported the region's agricultural and rural character.
