About this map

Desoto National Forest dominates the upper half of this Harrison County survey, where the small community of Success marks a key junction along Saucier Fairley Rd. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Biloxi River and the Little Biloxi River, which converge near the southern settlement of Lyman. This water-rich geography is crossed by the Little Biloxi River Bridge and fed by numerous tributaries like Saucier Cr, Tiger Cr, and Walker Cr.

Genealogical interest is high across this area, with family-named landmarks and several burial grounds scattered through the pine lands. Researchers can locate Rouse Cem, Saucier Cem, Midway Cem, Blackwell Cem, and Williams Cem. The road network, including historic routes like Old Highway 49, shows the modern transition of this once-rural timber and river region as it borders the expanding Gulf Coast interior.
