2015 Map of Schley

About this map

The Strong River and Pearl River define the intricate drainage patterns of this Simpson County landscape, where small family-named settlements like Bridgeport and Schley are connected by a web of rural roads. Numerous cemeteries, such as the Armstrong-Buckley Cem, Taylor Hill Cem, and Peacock Cem, serve as critical points of interest for genealogists and local historians, often marking the centers of early community life in this part of Mississippi. The terrain is marked by numerous creeks, including Vaughns Cr and Big Cr, which feed into the primary river systems. To the southwest, the landscape opens near Dickerson Lake and Martin Lake along the border with Copiah and Lawrence counties. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the winding Shivers Rd to the established township and range lines that have shaped local property divisions for generations.
