2024 Map of Knobtown

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders south through this borderland where Wayne and Greene counties meet. The landscape is defined by the rural settlements of Kittrell and Knobtown, connected by a network of timber and farm roads. Historical river crossings, notably Pittmans Ferry and Lucas Ferry, highlight the importance of the waterway to early regional transport. In the western portion of the map, a significant segment of the De Soto National Forest covers the terrain near Griffin Creek. Numerous family and community burial sites, such as Pine Grove Cem, Dunn Cem, and Slay Cem, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, offering tangible links to the area's genealogical history. The topographic detail shows a heavily dissected landscape where smaller drainages like Robertson Creek and Johnson Creek feed into the primary river basin.
