2020 Map of Pearl River

About this map

The Pearl River and its expansive wetlands dominate this landscape just west of Philadelphia, Mississippi. The river's winding course is mirrored by its tributary, Jofuska Creek, and the engineered drainage of the Kentawka Canal to the south. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its water systems and the rural infrastructure of Neshoba County. To the north, Marty Stuart Dr skirts the headwaters of Finishook Cr, while several local burial grounds, including Old Pearl Valley Cem and Henrys Chapel Cem, are preserved in the surrounding hills. The map captures the western edge of Philadelphia, showing the proximity of the Philadelphia Municipal Airport and the East Central Community College Integrated Technologies Training Center to the lowlands of Mud Lake. Further south, the community of Williamsville sits at a crossroads near where Wolf Cr flows toward the primary river channel.
