2021 Map of Silver Run

About this map

Silver Run and the neighboring settlement of Barth anchor this southern Mississippi landscape, where the Wolf River and Little Biloxi River drainage systems define the local geography. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Dedeaux Cem, Hester Cem, and Ladner Cem. Much of the eastern portion is occupied by the De Soto National Forest, showing a transition from private holdings to protected timberlands. A series of small water bodies like Silver Run Lakes, Red Gap Lake, and Happy Lake are scattered among the ridges and brakes. The presence of Big Swamp and Byrd Reed Brake indicates the low-lying, poorly drained terrain that historically challenged road construction, forcing the network of local routes like Silver Run Rd and Old Hwy 26 to follow the high ground of features like Kaiwa Ridge.
