2024 Map of Ward

About this map

The boundary between Sumter and Choctaw Counties runs through this landscape of winding creek bottoms and small rural settlements. In the northern reaches, the community of Ward sits near the headwaters of Silver Creek and Little Kinterbish Creek, while the settlement of Kinterbish is positioned further south along County Road 6. The topography is defined by significant drainages like Kinterbish Creek and Thornton Creek, which have shaped the local road network and placement of long-standing landmarks. Local history is anchored by several small burial grounds, including Cokes Chapel Cem, Beulah Cem, and Pine Grove Cem, often located at higher elevations or along family-named roads. The southern portion of the area transitions toward the settlement of Halsell, where Clear Creek and Jack Branch join the drainage system of Yantley Creek.
