2018 Map of Sanford

About this map

Sanford and the surrounding piney woods landscape of South Mississippi are defined by the convergence of several significant waterways, including the Okatoma River and the Bouie River. This 2018 survey reveals a rural area shaped by its proximity to Hattiesburg to the southeast, with a road network that includes Old Hwy 49 and State Hwy 598. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Byrd Cem, Lott Cem, and Bryant Cem scattered across the township lines. The settlement at Rawls Springs features the Rawls Springs Baptist Church, serving as a local landmark near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions between river basins, with numerous named tributaries like McCall Cr and Rooty Cr draining the timbered lands.
