About this map

Turkey Fork Reservoir centers this landscape in the pine-covered hills of Greene County, serving as a primary water feature within the De Soto National Forest. The settlement of Avera anchors the western edge, where local travel was historically defined by roads like Pleasant Hill Rd and Pope Rd. To the north, the small community of Bothwell is located near Indian Camp Cr and the local landmark of Wade Holler.

Genealogists and local historians can find burial sites at James Cem and the Mutual Rights Cem near the Mutual Rights Loop. The drainage pattern is complex, with Kittrell Mill Cr and Hell Hole Cr feeding into the larger system of the Pascagoula R. This map documents a quiet, rural portion of Mississippi where family-named roads like Arlie Davis Rd and J B Price Rd suggest long-standing timber and agricultural landholdings.
