2012 Map of Pearl River

About this map

The Pearl River meanders across this Neshoba County landscape, its natural oxbows and bends contrasting with the engineered precision of the Kentawka Canal. To the south, the community of Williamsville serves as a local hub near the Philadelphia Municipal Airport, while the settlement of Pearl River and the high ground of Zephyr Hill define the western reaches. The area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including the Old Pearl Valley Cem, Henrys Chapel Cem, and Black Jack Cem, which offer significant touchstones for genealogical research. The road network includes Marty Stuart Dr and several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia 2214, reflecting the complex jurisdiction and cultural heritage of the region. Low-lying wetlands such as Mud Lake and the confluence of Wolf Cr and Jofuska Cr further characterize this Mississippi river-bottom environment.
