1982 Map of Ramsey Springs

About this map

Black Creek and Red Creek snake across this part of Stone County and George County, defining a landscape largely dedicated to the De Soto National Forest and the Red Creek State Wildlife Management Area. Small rural communities like Ramsey Springs, Ruble, and Moore Crossing serve as anchor points amidst the dense timberlands and creek bottoms. This 1982 provisional survey reveals the legacy of the regional timber industry through an Old RR Grade and the presence of the University of Mississippi Forest. For those researching local family history, several small burial grounds are identified, including Whittington Cem, Hickman Cem, and O'Neal Cem, often located near crossroads and country churches like New Zion Ch. The mapping of small tributaries such as Sandy Creek and Indian Camp Br provides a clear view of the drainage patterns essential to this Gulf Coastal Plain environment.
