2024 Map of Kingston

About this map

Mantua Mounds, Voucherie Mounds, and Anna Mounds distinguish this landscape south of Natchez, where prehistoric earthworks are preserved alongside the colonial and plantation-era settlements of Adams County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Second Creek, Lynn Creek, and Sharp Bayou, which have historically shaped the agricultural boundaries and transportation routes of the region. The settlement of Kingston serves as a local focal point, surrounded by numerous family and community landmarks such as Kingston Cem and Farrar - King Cem. Roads like Moorland Pltn Rd and Commencement Plantation Rd reflect the enduring footprint of former plantation boundaries. This survey documents the intersection of ancient Indigenous earthworks with the rural infrastructure of modern Mississippi, offering a clear view of how topographic features influenced centuries of human habitation.
