De Soto National Forest dominates the landscape of Harrison County, providing a preserved backdrop for the evolving suburban and rural communities north of the Gulf Coast. The settlement of White Plains sits at a crossroads near the center of the map, while the northwestern reach of Biloxi and D'Iberville extend into the lower sections, showing the northern expansion of these coastal cities. The hydrology is defined by the winding course of the Tchoutacabouffa River and its many tributaries, including Tuxachanie Creek and Hester Creek. This area serves as a significant recreational corridor, evidenced by the extensive Bethel Mountain Bike Trail and Bethel Motorcycle Trail systems. Genealogists will find the locations of Walden Cem near the community of Woolmarket (De Soto) and Krohn Cem to the east, providing specific points of interest for family history research in this forested region.
