About this map

Wiggins and Perkinston anchor this 1980s landscape, serving as the commercial and educational hubs for Stone County. The corridor along the Illinois Central Gulf railroad tracks shows the concentrated development of these towns, including Stone High Sch and the Mississippi Gulf Coast Jr College campus. Just north of the main settlement, the Flint Creek Water Park and Flint Creek Res indicate the importance of water management and local recreation during this era.

Away from the town centers, the land is defined by a dense network of watercourses and family landmarks. Red Creek meanders through the center of the sheet, joined by numerous tributaries like Kirby Creek and Sweetwater Creek. Local genealogy is well-documented through a high density of rural burial grounds, including Price Memorial Cem, Josh Cem, and Davis Cem, alongside community anchors such as the New Zion Ch and Mt Avery Ch.
