2020 Map of Savannah

About this map

Savannah and Rowlands anchor this 2020 landscape in southern Mississippi, where the headwaters of several drainages carve into the terrain. The map captures a transition point at the Pearl River Co / Hancock Co line, defined by the winding paths of Catahoula Cr and Hickory Cr. Much of the area is characterized by a dense network of local roads named for prominent families and local geography, including Savannah Millard Rd and McNeill McHenry Rd. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Steep Hollow Cem and Anner Cem, which reflect the long-standing community foundations in this rural corridor. The presence of Gilberts Lake and numerous small streams like Redfish Cr and Pen Br suggests a landscape defined by its hydrology and timber-rich environment.
