1982 Map of Avent
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Pascagoula River snakes through the southeastern corner of this landscape, creating a complex network of backwaters including Davis Dead River, Dace Lake, and the Dace Eddy. This 1982 provisional study documents the rural character of the borderlands between Greene and George Counties within the De Soto National Forest. Settlement is concentrated around the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line, which passes through the small community of Avent and the McClelland station. The interior is defined by the Whiskey Creek Hills and numerous watercourses like Whiskey Creek and Black Creek. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several established landmarks, including Mt Rose Ch, Leaf Ch, and family burial grounds such as Pipkin Cem and Fairley Cem.
