About this map

The settlement of Kingston anchors this landscape in Adams County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Mississippi River. Numerous plantation roads, such as Cherry Grove Plantation Rd and Retirement Plantation Rd, trace the historic land divisions and agricultural legacy of the region. Family and community heritage is deeply rooted here, evidenced by several scattered burial sites including Surget Cem, Calvin Smith Cem, King Cem, and the Kingston Cemetery.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, with Second Creek winding through the center and various bayous like Sharp Bayou, Pango Bayou, and Chase Bayou carving through the lowlands. The road network, including names like Stanley Davis Rd and McCalip-Retirement Pltn Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of rural Mississippi. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on a region where historical property lines and natural watercourses continue to shape the local geography.
