About this map

The Pearl River basin dominates this Neshoba County landscape, showing a complex network of wetlands and tributaries that have long shaped local development. Near the southern edge of the survey, the communities of Williamsville and Fairview sit adjacent to major transportation corridors, while the Philadelphia Municipal Airport occupies the eastern margin. The map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including Henrys Chapel Cem, Black Jack Cem, and McNeill Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research in the area.

Water management and natural hydrology define the central terrain, where the Kentawka Canal and Mud Lake intersect with numerous creeks such as Lofuska Cr and Bear Cr. Modern infrastructure like Marty Stuart Dr winds through the northern sections, connecting dispersed rural settlements. This detailed record captures the intersection of traditional Neshoba County sites, such as the Old Pearl Valley Cem, with the evolving infrastructure of the early 21st century.
