About this map

The De Soto National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Stone and George counties, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. The northern reaches are characterized by the winding path of Black Creek, supported by tributaries like Sandy Creek and Deep Branch. This area shows a pattern of rural Mississippi settlement concentrated around family-named landmarks and small timber-country outposts like Rosette and Moore Crossing.

Further south, the community of Ramsey Springs sits near the confluence of Red Creek and Little Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of remote burial sites and congregations, including Whittington Cem, New Zion Ch, and Paramount Missionary Ch. The presence of a Gaging Sta on the Black Creek and a Communication Tower near the southern boundary reflects the gradual modernization of this forest-dominated region by the turn of the millennium.
