The Pike County Mississippi map compares the county seat at Magnolia with the larger city of McComb along I-55 and US 51, then connects Summit in the north with Osyka near the southern state line. A rail-grown urban corridor follows Piney Woods drainage toward Louisiana.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 98.5 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Pike County Mississippi map
I-55 and US 51 sequence Summit, McComb, Magnolia, and Osyka on the way toward Louisiana. US 98 crosses McComb between Walthall County on the east and Amite County on the west, while MS 24 supplies another east-west approach. City streets and minor rural stream roads are simplified.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
The Tangipahoa River and tributaries flow south toward Louisiana, while eastern streams connect with the Bogue Chitto system. Low pine-covered hills repeat from Lincoln County to the state line. With little water acreage, rivers, the railroad, and the interstate are the strongest references for the county's elongated north-south form.
A scale check around Tangipahoa River basin and Bogue Chitto tributaries comes from the Gazetteer totals: 409.185 square miles of land compared with 1.509 square miles of water. On the map, Magnolia and McComb show how settlement is distributed; Lincoln marks where that local pattern meets the neighboring region. Use the Lincoln relationship for regional comparison rather than property measurement or route choice.
Settlement and Regional Context
Magnolia is the courthouse seat, while McComb is the largest center for rail history, health care, retail, and regional employment. Summit and Osyka provide smaller northern and state-line town references. The 2025 estimate is about four percent below the 2020 count, adding demographic context to both the urban corridor and rural edges.
Practical Map Uses
- Sequence Summit, McComb, Magnolia, and Osyka along I-55
