2021 Map of Rock Hill

About this map

Rock Hill and the surrounding piney woods of the De Soto National Forest define this corner of Forrest County. The landscape is heavily dissected by the winding tributaries of the Black Creek system, including Little Black Creek, Potato Cr, and Cameron Cr. This map reveals a distributed rural settlement pattern typical of the South Mississippi upland, where family history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds such as Anderson Cem, Simmons Cem, and Rock Hill Cem. Significant elevation changes are noted along Pistol Ridge, which runs through the southwestern portion of the sheet. The network of timber roads and connectors, including Rockhill Lumberton Rd and Pumping Station Rd, reflects the area's long-standing connection to the forest products industry and rural transit between Purvis and Brooklyn.
