2015 Map of Knobtown

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders through this portion of Greene and Wayne Counties, defining a landscape of wetlands and timberland within the Desoto National Forest. In the southern half of the map, the settlement of Kittrell serves as a crossroads near the Kittrell Cem, while Knobtown sits further southeast along the winding Snell Cr. The area is characterized by several small rural communities and family-named roads, indicating a deeply rooted local history. Multiple cemeteries, including Mount Pleasant Cem, Providence Cem, and Dunn Cem, are scattered across the terrain, often located near tributaries like Big Creek and Robertson Cr. The transition from the northern reaches of Battles down to the forest boundaries highlights the rural character of this Mississippi region, where the economy remains tied to the land and the river system.
