2015 Map of Montrose North

About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of Tallahala Cr and Otak Cr carve through the timberlands. The border between Newton and Jasper counties bisects the region, connecting small rural centers like Roberts in the northwest to the crossroads of Garlandville in the east. Local history is anchored at the Garlandville Cem and Randall Hill Cem, marking generations of settlement in this part of Mississippi. To the south, the village of Montrose sits near the forest edge, while smaller locales like Baxter and Verba are linked by a network of county roads such as Co Rd 25 and Co Rd 24. The topography is defined by narrow creek valleys including Souenlovie Cr and Scotchenflipper Cr, which drain the varied terrain outside the national forest boundary.
