About this map

The Pearl River carves a winding path through this portion of Lawrence County, defining a landscape of deep oxbows and fertile bottomlands. In the north, the settlement of Robinwood sits near the banks of Wilsons Lake, while to the south, Tilton serves as a focal point near the confluence of Tilton Cr and the river. The area's rural character is underscored by numerous family-named roads like Ervin Reid Cir, Al Carney Cir, and Cameron Ln, which suggest a long-established local genealogy.

Evidence of the community's history is preserved at Bozeman Cem and Sauls Cem, located in the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant drainage patterns are established by White Sand Creek and the Pettit River in the east, which feed into the primary river system. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between the dense web of local access roads and the sprawling natural waterways that have shaped development in this Mississippi region.
