About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the central landscape of this survey, where the border between Scott and Smith Counties divides a terrain of winding creeks and rural church centers. Small settlements like Pineville and Lemon anchor the southern reaches, while the land is drained by a network of waterways including the Leaf River, Tishkill Creek, and Tallahogue. This map reflects the long-standing community hubs of the region, marked by numerous rural cemeteries and congregational sites that have served local families for generations.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named sites such as the Crout Sisters Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Noblin Cem. The presence of institutions like the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church and Carr Methodist Church alongside timberlands highlights the enduring rural character of this Mississippi interior before modern development intensified. The road system, including the Morton-Marathon Rd and numerous county routes, connects these isolated landmarks across the pine-heavy forest floor.
