About this map

Avera and the surrounding piney woods of De Soto National Forest dominate this mid-century topographic record of Greene County. The settlement at Avera is clearly detailed alongside Bothwell to the north, showing the rural road network and scattered homesteads that define this part of the Mississippi interior. Local spiritual and family history is anchored by the Mutual Rights Ch and James Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in the region.

The drainage patterns of the National Forest boundary are intricately mapped, following the winding courses of Big Creek and its many tributaries like Kittrell Mill Creek and Bear Creek. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and numerous small watercourses, including the curious Hell Hole Creek, reflecting the natural landscape before significant modern development altered the forest's footprint.
