2018 Map of White Oak

About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the border between Rankin, Smith, and Simpson Counties meets. This rural Mississippi terrain is defined by the drainage networks of the Strong River and White Oak Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns around Mayton, Gunn, and White Oak. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Steve Hughes Cemetery and Dukes Cemetery, which provide significant value for genealogical research in this region.
