About this map

Sumrall serves as the focal point of this South Mississippi landscape, where the confluence of several county lines—Jefferson Davis, Covington, and Lamar—meets at a network of creeks and small rivers. The area is characterized by its numerous family cemeteries, including Presley Watts Cem, Aultman Cem, and Taylor Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in these rural communities.

Waterways like the Bouie River and Black Cr define the drainage of the region, interspersed with distinct terrain features such as Bear Bay and the curiously named Gabby Reed Brake. Small settlements and rail-oriented locales like Higgins, Bynum, Coral, and Epley are connected by a web of local roads, such as Gates Bridge Rd and Seminary Sumrall Rd, reflecting the long-established transit patterns of these timber and agricultural corridors.
