About this map

The Wolf River and Biloxi River drainage systems define this section of the Mississippi piney woods at the turn of the millennium. The landscape is characterized by its transition from the managed timberlands of the De Soto National Forest in the east to the scattered rural settlements of Silver Run and Barth further west. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several family-named landmarks including Head Cem, Ladner Cem, and Hickman Lookout Cem scattered across the undulating terrain.

Water is a constant presence, appearing as numerous small lakes and swampy brakes such as Silver Run Lakes, Red Gap Lakes, and the Burned Weed Brake. The intersection of multiple county lines, including Stone, Hancock, and Pearl River, highlights the area's role as a meeting point of South Mississippi jurisdictions. Rural life centers on landmarks like the Old Barth Community Ch and Oak Grove Ch, which serve as anchors for these long-established forest communities.
