The Chickasawhay River meanders through this portion of Greene County, defining a landscape of dense wetlands and forest within the De Soto National Forest. This 2021 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the small settlements of Clark and Old Avera. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Fellowship Cem, Platt Cem, and Simpson Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. Evidence of early industry and water-powered commerce persists in names like Mokown Mill Br, while the transport network is defined by local routes such as Polley Wiggle Rd and Clark Heritage Rd. Numerous tributaries, such as Panther Br and Griffin Cr, feed into the main river channel, shaping the low-lying terrain.
