About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates this landscape in central Mississippi, where the headwaters of the Leaf River converge with several significant tributaries. This survey, revised at the turn of the millennium, illustrates a rural topography defined by the winding paths of Tallabogue Creek, Turkey Creek, and Tishkill Creek. The settlement of Pineville serves as the local hub, surrounded by a dense network of country churches that speak to the area's social fabric, including Oak Ridge Ch and Pineville Ch.

Evidence of local industry and land use is visible through markers for an Oil Well and a Drill Hole, suggesting the subsurface resource exploration common to the region. For genealogists, the map is a vital record of family landmarks like Noblin Cem and Union Grove Ch, preserved within the patchwork of public forest and private inholdings that characterize the border between Smith and Scott counties.
