2015 Map of Avera

About this map

DeSoto National Forest dominates much of this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks converge in southeastern Mississippi. The central settlement of Avera serves as a local hub near the intersection of several rural routes including Old MS 63 and Pleasant Hill Rd. Significant water features like the Turkey Fork Reservoir and the winding Turkey-Fork stream illustrate the drainage patterns of the region, while smaller hamlets such as Carson City and Bothwell are situated along the forest boundary. For those tracing family histories or early land use, the map identifies specific local landmarks including Mutual Rights Cem and James Cem. The landscape is a network of named logging and access roads, such as Indian Hill Rd and Station Loop, which carve through the dense woodlands and connect isolated homesteads to the primary thoroughfares.
