About this map

White Plains serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Mississippi piney woods, situated near the headwaters of the Tchoutacabouffa River. The landscape is defined by the dense drainage network of the DeSoto National Forest, where numerous creeks like Tuxachanie Creek and Luxachanie Creek carve through the coastal plain. Human settlement is concentrated along winding local routes such as White Plains Road and Lamey Bridge Road, which connect small communities and family landholdings.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including Walden Cemetery near Camp Hill and the Krohn Cemetery located in the southeastern portion of the map. The intricate detail of the watercourses, from Hester Creek to Bayou Billie, illustrates the geographical complexity of the Harrison and Jackson county line. This map documents a region where traditional rural roads and forest boundaries intersect with growing residential developments like Village Drive and Rivers Pointe.
