About this map

Sumrall serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of Covington Co and Lamar Co. The town's grid is defined by streets like Railroad Ave and Center Ave, reflecting its historical development along transportation corridors. Surrounding the town, a dense network of family-named cemeteries such as Presley Watts Cem, Lowery Cem, and Jones Cem provides a detailed genealogical record of the rural communities that populate the area between the Bouie River and Sumrall Mill Cr.

The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses, including the Gabby-Reed-Brake and Gum Swamp Cr, which feed into larger systems like Hayden Cr. Smaller settlements like Higgins, Bynum, and Epley dot the southern half of the map, connected by a web of local roads such as Rock Hill Rd and Seminary-Sumrall Rd. This survey illustrates a contemporary view of these established Mississippi communities where rural industry and long-standing family landholdings intersect.
