About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates this Central Mississippi landscape, where the Leaf River and its numerous tributaries like Tallabogue Creek and Turkey Creek carve through the terrain. In the late 1960s, the small settlement of Pineville served as a local hub, anchored by the Pineville Ch. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier timber or transit eras, alongside modern industrial markers like an Oil Well and a Drill Hole.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including several rural houses of worship such as Mt Carmel Ch, Galilee Ch, and Cary Ch. The presence of the Noblin Cem and numerous unnamed burial sites near Leaf River Ch provides specific points of interest for family history research. Water features such as Tishkill Creek and the Spring Lakes further define the drainage patterns of this portion of Smith and Scott counties.
