2015 Map of Avent

About this map

Desoto National Forest dominates the landscape of this 2015 survey, covering a complex network of ridges and drainages where Greene, Perry, and George Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the Whiskey Creek Hills and a dense hydrological system including Whiskey Cr, Black Creek, and the winding Pascagoula River in the southeast. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites such as Pipkin Cem, Fairley Cem, and Nixon-Mizelle Cem, alongside the small settlement of Avent near the northern boundary. The southeastern corner reveals a dynamic riverine environment where the Davis Dead River, Dace Lake, and Otter Pond occupy the lowlands near the Pascagoula River Mississippi Highway 26 Bridge. This modern topographic study shows the persistence of rural road networks like Clarence Fairley Rd and Salem School Rd amidst the protected forest lands.
