2018 Map of Knobtown

About this map

Kittrell and Knobtown anchor this section of Southeast Mississippi, where the sprawling timberlands of the De Soto National Forest dominate the southern landscape. The meandering path of the Chickasawhay River carves through the central terrain, its complex system of wetlands and tributaries like Big Creek and Slay Creek shaping the local geography. Family history is deeply rooted in the rural road network, which links numerous burial grounds such as Pine Grove Cemetery and Providence Cemetery. The map documents a sparsely settled region defined by its natural watercourses and the transition between Wayne and Greene counties. Notable junctions like Robinson-Kittrell Junction reflect the intersection of forestry routes and small-town connections that have long sustained this river-valley community.
