The settlement of Boon and the nearby community of Ellison Ridge anchor this Winston County landscape, characterized by a complex drainage network including Nanih Waiya Creek and Coopwood Creek. This survey reveals a pattern of rural settlement deeply tied to family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the hills. Genealogists and local historians can trace locations such as Murphy Creek Cem, New Hope Cem, and Kirk Cem. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges like Crystal Ridge, while the hydrological importance of the region is clear through the presence of Canie Creek and Town Cr. This modern edition serves as a definitive record of the road network and land divisions that have structured this part of Mississippi for generations.
