2020 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

Bowling Green and the nearby settlement of Poplar Springs anchor this portion of Holmes County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of creeks and bayous. The area's history is written in its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Pleasant Ridge Cem, Bethesda Cem, and the Hooker Cem. These sites, often situated near winding roads like Beulah Grove Rd and Montgomery Rd, reflect generations of local residency and land use. The topography is shaped by the drainage patterns of Black Cr and Little Fannegusha Cr, while to the east, Bisland Bayou winds through the lower elevations. The prevalence of named cemeteries such as Saffold Cem and Jenkins Cem suggests a deeply rooted rural community structure, where small settlements and family plots were interconnected by a complex web of local routes like Bowling Green Rd.
