2014 Map of Ararat

About this map

The Tombigbee River forms a critical natural boundary along the southeastern edge of this terrain, marking the division between Choctaw and Clarke counties. Inland, the landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Westwing Ridge, Horne Ridge, and Wilson Ridge, which channel numerous tributaries toward the river. Small settlements and named locales like Ararat, Spring Hill, and Pleasant Hill are dispersed across these highlands, connected by a network of rural roads such as Ararat Rd and Gibson Rd. Genealogical points of interest are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Wilson Cem, and Little Cem. The topography drops sharply at the river's edge, noted by landmarks like Morgan Bluff, Bucey Bluff, and the sharp bend at Turkey Point.
