2021 Map of Avera

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates much of the landscape in this portion of Greene County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Big Creek and Turkey Fork. The settlement of Avera serves as a local anchor near the junction of Pleasant Hill Rd and Old Hwy 63, while the small community of Bothwell lies to the northwest. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Indian Hill Cem, James Cem, and Mutual Rights Cem. The area is interlaced with named local roads like George Williams Rd and Milton Dunnam Rd, reflecting a rural infrastructure built around forestry and small-scale agriculture. The presence of Mitchell Mill Cr points to the historical importance of local waterpower in this part of Mississippi.
