2015 Map of Clark

About this map

Old Avera and Clark sit within the timberlands and river bottoms of Greene County, where the Chickasawhay River meanders through the center of this landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Griffin Cr, Morgan Mill Br, and Byrd Cr, reflecting the hydrologic complexity of the Pine Belt. While the Desoto National Forest occupies the northwestern corner, the rest of the map is a mosaic of family-named roads and rural burial grounds. For genealogists, the distribution of small cemeteries such as Adamsville Cem, Fellowship Cem, and Simpson Cem provides a clear spatial record of early settlement patterns and family clusters away from the primary river artery. The presence of routes like Clark Heritage Rd and Old Avera Rd suggests the enduring path of local travel between these small Mississippi communities.
