About this map

The Pearl River carves a serpentine path through the landscape of Marion and Walthall Counties, defining the state line between Mississippi and Louisiana. This terrain is marked by numerous oxbow features and lakes like Yellow Lake and Black Lake, which sit within the river's winding floodplain. Small rural settlements are scattered across the higher ground, including Sandy Hook, Saxon, and Sauer, connected by a network of local roads such as Military Rd and Spring Hill Church Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Sandy Hook Cem, Pearl River Cem, and Ford Chapel Cem. The map captures a transition point where the river separates the low-lying wetlands from the slightly elevated farming and timber lands. Waterways like Hurricane Creek and Sandy Hook Cr feed into the main river system, while the boundary lines of Walthall Co and Washington Parish converge near the southern edge of the survey.
