2024 Map of Silver Run

About this map

Silver Run and Barth anchor this detailed study of the south Mississippi timberlands and watershed divides. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Wolf River in the west and the Little Biloxi River to the east, with Kaiwa Ridge forming a prominent topographic spine between the river systems. The map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by local family histories, evidenced by the numerous roads bearing names such as Lester Ladner Rd, Nic Ladnier Rd, and Coot Saucier Rd. These routes connect scattered residences and agricultural plots with several family burial sites, including the Dedeaux Cem and Ladner Cem. Much of the eastern portion of the quadrangle is managed as part of the De Soto National Forest, where smaller water features like Red Gap Lake and the wetlands of Byrd Reed Brake punctuate the pine-covered hills.
