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 settlement of Piave sits in the southwest corner near Granny Creek, while Smithtown is situated further north along the local road network. This mid-century survey reflects a rural Mississippi timber and wildlife region, marked by strategic observation points like the Piney Woods Lookout Tower and Stony Lookout Tower.

Waterways define the local geography, with Big Creek flowing through the northeast and Mason Creek winding through the central forest lands. Local history is anchored by sites such as Bethel Ch, West Salem Ch, and the Henderson Cem, alongside crossings like Patricks Bridge. The map captures the quiet transition of these woodlands before later 20th-century developments, preserving the original footprints of small communities and family landmarks.
