1969 Map of Pinebur

About this map

The Hugh L White Game Reserve anchors this part of southern Mississippi along the border of Marion Co and Lamar Co. In the late 1960s, the rural landscape near the small community of Hub and the settlement of Pinebur remained defined by its complex network of watercourses and piney woods. Water features like Lake Columbia and Lake Watts are prominent, while the terrain is etched by numerous branches including Elbow Prong, Sheep Pen Branch, and Little Turkey Branch. Local landmarks such as Hollywood Spring and a Gaging Station on Beaver Dam Creek suggest the importance of water management in the area. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Breakfield and Cook cemeteries, along with Brushy Creek and Pinebur churches, which served as the social and spiritual hubs for these outlying timber and agricultural communities.
