About this map

De Soto National Forest and the Chickasawhay State Wildlife Management Area dominate this landscape on the border of Wayne and Greene Counties. The rural character of the region in the mid-1960s is evidenced by scattered settlements like Piave and Smithtown, which are connected by a network of unimproved roads and creek crossings. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Mason Creek and Cary Creek, with the elevation monitored from elevated vantage points at the Piney Woods Lookout Tower and Stony Lookout Tower.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by community landmarks such as Bethel Ch and West Salem Ch, alongside the Henderson Cem. Revisions noted in purple during the early 1980s show minor infrastructure changes while the area remained largely committed to timber and wildlife management. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Griffin Creek points to the small-scale extractive industry supporting local road maintenance during this period.
