About this map

Strong River and its numerous tributaries, including Big Creek and Cottonseed Br, carve a complex drainage pattern across this Simpson County landscape. The area is defined by small, dispersed settlements like Bridgeport and Schley, which are connected by an intricate network of local roads such as Matt Lee Rd and Joe Buckley Rd. These family-named routes suggest a long-standing agricultural and residential presence in the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Armstrong-Buckley Cem, Peacock Cem, and New Hope Cem. The southern edge of the map features the Pearl River at the junction of the Copiah, Simpson, and Lawrence county lines. Water bodies like Dickerson Lake and Martin Lake sit near the river bottomlands, illustrating the transition from the upland creek systems to the larger river basin.
