2018 Map of Sumrall

About this map

Sumrall anchors this corner of Lamar County, showing a well-established grid of local streets like Lagoon Ave and Preston St near the Sumrall Mill Cr drainage. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of family-named cemeteries, suggesting a deep-rooted rural population across the hills surrounding the Bouie River. Places like Lowery Cem, Presley-Watts Cem, and New Hope Cem serve as vital markers for local genealogy, situated among small settlements like Higgins and Bynum. The terrain transitions into low-lying wetlands to the northeast, where the Gubby Reed Brake sits along the Beaver Cr watershed. This topographic study reflects the modern continuity of traditional South Mississippi land divisions, with prominent county lines separating Lamar from Jefferson Davis and Covington counties.
