About this map

Bayou Pierre and its intricate tributaries, such as White Oak Creek and Scutchalo Cr, define this landscape south of Utica. This 2015 survey documents a rural corridor along the borders of Hinds, Copiah, and Claiborne Counties. The mapping detail highlights a cluster of small communities and rural outposts, including Carpenter, Reedtown, and Myles. These settlements are interconnected by a network of local routes like Fisher Ferry Rd and Reedtown Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family and community burial grounds documented by the U.S. Geological Survey. From Fatherree Cem near Utica to the Seven Star Cem and Ritchey Cem, these markers provide essential geographic anchors for local family histories. Landmarks like Scutchalo Falls and Ruel-A-Lou Lake offer further insight into the hydrological character of the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
