2015 Map of Ovett

About this map

Bogue Homo snakes through this landscape on the border of Jones and Perry Counties, anchoring a region of dense creek networks and timbered terrain. The settlement of Ovett serves as a primary hub in the north, while smaller communities like Whitfield, Tallahala, and Runnelstown define the local geography. The area's history is preserved in its numerous rural burial grounds, including Beech Cem, Ovett Cem, and the Woodard Cem near the eastern boundary. The presence of the Desoto National Forest highlights the managed forest character of the land, which is drained by a complex system of waterways such as Smith Mill Cr and Buck Cr. A network of winding country roads like Ovett-Moselle Rd and Whitfield Rd connects these dispersed homesteads and landmarks, providing a clear view of the rural Mississippi interior.
