2012 Map of Progress

About this map

Bogue Chitto and Silver Cr frame a landscape defined by generational family lands along the Mississippi-Louisiana border. Small settlements like Progress, Smithburg, and Simmonsville serve as anchors for a rural network of roads including Old 24 Ext and Old River Rd. The area is particularly rich in family-named burial grounds, such as the Kendrick-Pounds Cem and Brewer-Webb Cem, which reflect the deep genealogical roots of Pike County. These sites are often found near creek junctions or tucked away on roads like Fortenberry Rd. The terrain is characterized by the watershed of the Bala Chitto Cr, with crossroads like Dykes Crossing and Gladhurst marking the historical transition points between agricultural tracts.
