2021 Map of Knobtown

About this map

The Chickasawhay River winds through this rural corridor along the border of Wayne and Greene counties, shaping a landscape defined by its creek bottomlands and timbered ridges. Much of the western terrain is protected within the De Soto National Forest, where smaller tributaries like Big Creek and Griffin Cr drain toward the river. This area is dotted with small settlements and family landmarks, including the communities of Kittrell and Knobtown. Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Kittrell Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Slay Cem. The road network, including the Robinson-Kittrell Junction, connects these dispersed homesteads and the various landings along the river, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the local waterways and forest resources.
