2024 Map of Boon

About this map

The settlement of Boon sits at a rural crossroads in northern Winston County, Mississippi, where small creek systems like Murphy Creek and Nanih Waiya Creek drain a landscape of managed timber and agricultural plots. This contemporary survey details a region deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the clustered Murphy Creek Baptist Church Cem and New Hope Methodist Church Cem. The map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and rural routes, such as Ellison Ridge RD and Sammy Black RD, which link isolated homesteads and community burial grounds like the Kirk Family Cem. A significant portion of the central terrain is designated as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Mississippi, illustrating the modern intersection of federal land management and private agriculture in the Deep South. The intricate drainage network of Coopwood Creek and Town Creek further defines the topography of this quiet rural corridor.
