2012 Map of Wesson

About this map

Wesson and the neighboring settlement of Beauregard anchor the northeastern landscape of this Copiah and Lincoln County survey. The Illinois Central railroad corridor serves as a primary north-south axis, historically vital for the transit of goods and people through this timber-rich region. The map reveals a high concentration of community landmarks, particularly a network of local burial grounds such as Sylvarena Cem, Rocky Hill Cem, and Wesson Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. To the west and south, the terrain is defined by the winding waters of Bayou Pierre and Clear Cr, alongside smaller communities like New Sight and Montgomery. This detailed view from the early 2010s documents a landscape of mixed rural agriculture and established rail-town commerce, reflecting the enduring patterns of Mississippi's hill country settlement.
