2015 Map of Rock Hill

About this map

De Soto National Forest encompasses a large portion of this landscape where the boundaries of Lamar, Forrest, and Pearl River counties meet. The small settlement of Rock Hill serves as a central point, surrounded by a dense network of timber roads and family-named routes such as AB Keith Rd and Charlie Anderson Rd. This 2015 survey reveals a land defined by its drainages, where the meandering Black Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Black Cr and Potato Cr, create a complex hydrologic system through the pine woods. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Rock Hill Cem, Slade Cem, and Simmons Cem, many tucked away along winding forest tracks like Rockhill Lumberton Rd. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Pistol Ridge area, illustrating the enduring relationship between local industry and the Mississippi forest landscape.
