2024 Map of Taylor Hill

About this map

De Soto National Forest and the training grounds of Camp Shelby dominate this corner of Perry County, Mississippi. This 2024 survey documents a landscape of dense pine forests and winding drainage networks, including Hickory Creek and Harverson Mill Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Deadman Hill and Taylor Hill, which rise above the numerous branches and prongs that feed the local watershed. Family names are preserved in the landscape through the marking of small burial sites, including Herring Cem, Breland Cem, and Riley Cem. These points of interest, along with local routes like Patterson Rd and Forest Cochran Rd, provide essential landmarks for researchers tracing the rural heritage and land use patterns within this federally managed timberland.
