1982 Map of Taylor Hill

About this map

De Soto National Forest and the Leaf River State Wildlife Management Area dominate this landscape in Perry County, reflecting a period of concerted conservation and federal land management. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Silver Run, Hickory Branch, and Fairchild Creek that feed into the larger creek systems. Small pockets of human settlement and local history are evident in the presence of Oak Grove and the Cypress Creek Ch. Family and community lineages can be traced through the Herring Cem, Bodland Cem, and Riley Cem, which are tucked away among the hills and creek bottoms. The map also captures a specialized use of the land with a designated Practice Firing Range in the northwest, situated near Richland Creek.
