2015 Map of Piave

About this map

The Desoto National Forest dominates this section of the Mississippi piney woods, spanning the boundary between Wayne Co and Greene Co. The map records a landscape defined by small-scale settlements and an extensive network of rural routes, including Piave Plaza Rd and Smithtown Chicora Rd. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Piave is situated near the headwaters of Granny Br and Turkey Fork, while the northern community of Smithtown sits at a crossroads further inland. Local family history is centered around the Henderson Cem and a myriad of namesake roads such as Bill Henderson Loop and Bart Anderson Rd. The drainage pattern is complex, with numerous creeks like Hell Hole Cr and E Mason Cr carving through the forested terrain, reflecting the wet, wooded character of this coastal plain region.
