About this map

Pinckneyville serves as the focal point of this southwestern Mississippi landscape, situated in a region defined by a dense network of winding waterways and family-named landmarks. The topography is marked by significant drainage systems, including the complex course of Pinckneyville Bayou and Sara Bayou, which weave through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Small rural settlements like Hooks and Donegal are tucked away near the state's edge, connected by a web of unimproved roads and trails that traverse the hilly terrain.

The character of the land is heavily shaped by its hydrology, from the northern reaches of Yamacrow Creek and Fountainbleau Creek to the southern Stockfarm Creek. Historical land divisions are visible through the township and range lines, such as T 2 N T 1 N, reflecting the early survey patterns of Wilkinson County. For those researching local history, the map provides a clear look at the relationship between these scattered homesteads and water sources like Locust Hill Branch and Millbrook during the late 1980s.
