About this map

The city of Picayune serves as the central hub of this Pearl River County survey, where the convergence of the West Hobolochitto Creek and East Hobolochitto Creek defines the local drainage and topography. This area is characterized by a dense network of suburban and rural residential developments extending northward into Carriere, Ozona, and Richardson. The map documents the extensive modern road system, including the prominent interstate corridor and local routes like Palestine Rd and Hickory Nut Dr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Thigpen Cem south of the city center, near the junction of Alligator Br and Second Alligator Br. The landscape is dotted with small named water bodies and drainage features such as Solomon Cr, Mill Cr, and Farr Slough. Private recreational areas are also represented, notably the residential community surrounding Lake Hide-A-Way on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
