About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this section of the Mississippi piney woods, where a complex network of waterways like Black Creek and Red Creek define the landscape. The map centers on the small community of Ramsey Springs, a locale long known for its mineral waters. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous small tributaries including Bluff Cr, Cypress Cr, and Little Cr, illustrating the dense drainage patterns typical of the Gulf Coastal Plain.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds tucked away in the forest and near old roads, such as Moore Cem, Alexander Cem, and Hickman Cem. Infrastructure for navigating these wetlands is evident through landmarks like the Alexander Bridge and Parker Bridge. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including Old Hwy 26 E and Pat Hickman Rd, many of which follow the natural contours of the ridges between the creek bottoms.
