1982 Map of Savannah

About this map

Savannah and Rowlands anchor this landscape along the border of Pearl River and Hancock counties, illustrating the rural character of southern Mississippi in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Catahoula Creek and Redfish Creek carve through the timbered hills. This provisional survey captures local landmarks such as Gilberts Lake and reveals a network of named timber and access routes including Upper Little Creek Road and West Crane Creek Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites like Steep Hollow Cem and Anner Cem, which provide essential geographic context for family histories in these Piney Woods communities. The transition between the two counties is marked clearly, showing how the local road system, including Sand Hill Road, navigated the winding paths of Hickory Creek and Crane Creek.
