2015 Map of Durant

About this map

The Big Black River forms a winding natural boundary through the center of this landscape, separating the counties of Holmes and Attala. To the west, the town of Durant serves as a regional hub with a distinct street grid including Castalian Springs Rd, Martin Luther King Dr, and SW Depot St. The surrounding countryside is defined by small settlements like Boyette and Sallis, the latter situated near the confluence of Long Cr and Taylor Cr. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered across the hills and river bottoms, such as Melton Cem, Holleman Cem, and Stump Ridge Cem. The presence of oxbow features like Round Lake along the river's path highlights the dynamic hydrology of the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
