2012 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

Bowling Green and Poplar Springs anchor this rural Mississippi landscape, which is defined by an extensive network of family cemeteries and winding waterways. The map reveal a deeply rooted community structure, where small burial grounds like Jenkins Cem, Rogers Cem, and Thurmond Cem are tucked away along county routes like Stokes Cemetery Rd and Hopewell Rd. The drainage pattern is complex, with Black Creek and Beaver Creek meandering through the territory alongside Bisland Bayou. This topography is largely shaped by the interplay of these creeks and the low-lying bayou areas, creating a patchwork of accessible ridges and wetlands. The prevalence of named cemeteries and legacy roads like Smith-Bailey Rd offers significant detail for genealogists tracing ancestral land tracts in Holmes County.
