2012 Map of Boon

About this map

Nanih Waiya Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Murphy Cr and Town Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Winston County landscape. The area is characterized by a high concentration of burial sites and family landmarks, with Murphy Creek Cem and New Hope Cem serving the northern reaches, while Ellison Ridge Cem and Kirk Cem anchor the eastern settlements. The community of Ellison Ridge sits at the junction of several local routes, while the namesake Boon occupies a central position north of the Town Creek Canal. The road network often preserves local heritage through naming conventions, such as Harmony Baptist Church Rd and various family-named routes like Harold Ming Rd and Jc Sullivan Rd. A complex system of small creeks, such as Coopwood Cr and Canie Cr, reveals the intricate hydrology that shaped the early farm-and-creek economy of this Mississippi region.
