2018 Map of Janice

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this section of Perry County, Mississippi, where the settlement of Janice sits at the intersection of Janice School Rd and Bryant Rd. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Black Creek, which is accompanied by the Black Creek Trail as it snakes through the dense woodland. This area reflects a deep integration of military and natural resource management, evidenced by the presence of MTA Camp Shelby in the northern reaches and various fire-watch infrastructure like Paret Tower Rd. Local history is anchored by the Nixon Cem and several family-named roads such as Hershel Ramsey Rd and Lula Cooley Rd, tracing the residential patterns of rural families. The hydrology of the region is intricate, with numerous tributaries like Pearces Cr and Ashley Cr feeding into larger systems, alongside unique features like Howard Reed Brake and Andrew Pond.
