2015 Map of Janice

About this map

The Desoto National Forest dominates this section of Perry County, Mississippi, where the settlement of Janice sits at the intersection of several local forest roads. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network feeding into Black Creek, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. Distinctive wetlands like the Howard Reed Brake and water bodies such as Andrew Pond highlight the riparian character of the Gulf Coastal Plain landscape. For researchers and genealogists, the map preserves the location of Mixon Cem and names numerous family-identified landmarks like Wolfpen Br, Toms Camp Br, and Beaver Pond Cr. The road network, including Red Hill Rd and Paret Tower Rd, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure within the protected forest boundaries.
