2018 Map of Garden City

About this map

The Homochitto River defines the northern reaches of this territory, where it carves through the southwestern corner of Mississippi. This landscape is a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins, notably featuring Belmont Slough and numerous oxbow formations like Pipe Lake and Delta Lake. The rugged geography is largely contained within the Homochitto National Forest, which spans across the borders of Adams, Franklin, and Wilkinson Counties. Small rural settlements are scattered along local routes, including Garden City and Perrytown. Local historians can find evidence of early community life at Mack Cem near the northern boundary and Homer Hill Cem to the southeast. The drainage patterns of Siloam Bayou and Turkey Cr demonstrate the hydrologic character of this timbered region, where secondary roads like Perrytown Rd and Garden City Rd provide the primary connections between isolated homesteads.
