2018 Map of Taylor Hill

About this map

De Soto National Forest covers the majority of this landscape in Perry County, where the dense woodland is punctuated by the operations of MTA Camp Shelby. The small settlement of Oak Grove sits near the western edge, surrounded by a network of drainage systems like Turkey Br and Hickory Cr. The topography is defined by prominent rises such as Taylor Hill and Deadman Hill, which overlook the winding paths of Whiskey Cr and Harverson Mill Cr. For those tracing local families, the map identifies several rural burial sites, including Herring Cem, Breland Cem, and Riley Cem. These small cemeteries and the scattered forest service roads, such as Forest Svc Rd and N E Breland Rd, provide a record of the human presence within this heavily forested military and conservation area.
