About this map

The Whistler area of Wayne County is defined by a dense network of creek branches and family burial grounds in the early twenty-first century. This survey reveals a landscape where industry and heritage coexist, notably at the West Yellow Creek Oil Field and the Whistler Lookout Tower. The terrain is etched by numerous watercourses including Yellow Creek, Little Thompson Creek, and Maynor Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads like Beat 4 Shubuta Road and George Jones Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local data, as the map identifies several distinct cemeteries such as Arrington Cemetery, Boyles Chapel Cemetery, and Sanderson Cemetery. Unique local landmarks like Paster Reed Brake and the small settlement at Whistler provide a clear view of the rural Mississippi character during this era. The map serves as a detailed record of land use, from timbered brakes to the active oil fields in the northeastern corner.
