2021 Map of Wortham

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates the piney woods landscape of Harrison County, where the Biloxi River and the Little Biloxi River carve through the coastal plain. This recent survey captures the rural character of communities like Wortham, Lizana, and Lyman as they exist today. Family histories are anchored here by several established grounds, including Wedgeworth Cem, Dye Cem, and Finley Cem. The map reveals a dense network of timber and access roads, such as Saucier Lizana Rd and Saucier Advance Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small settlements. The drainage patterns of Hickory Cr and Honey Br illustrate the hydrologic complexity of this watershed, which eventually feeds south toward Bayou Bernard.
