About this map

The Big Black River snakes through the center of this landscape, defining the boundary between Holmes and Attala counties. The settlement of Durant occupies the northwest, where a structured grid of streets including N Jackson St and W Madison St meets the marshy lowlands surrounding Round Lake. To the southeast, the smaller community of Sallis sits along the southern hills near the headwaters of Long Cr.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the ridges, such as Melton Cem in the north and Stump Ridge Cem near the southern border. The transition from the alluvial bottomlands of the river to the higher ground of the eastern townships is evident in the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rd 4101 and Bowling Green Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks like Boyette.
