The Carroll County Mississippi map contrasts two county seats with very different access patterns. Carrollton and North Carrollton occupy the western interior, while Vaiden sits beside the I-55 and US 51 corridor in the east. Coila and McCarley fill out the rural space between those anchors.

The decennial count and the July 2025 estimate represent different reference dates. Land and water values come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 15.9 residents per square mile uses the 2020 population and land area; it does not imply an even distribution among towns, farms, forests, or floodplain.
Carroll County Mississippi map: What It Shows
Use MS 17 to locate Carrollton and the interstate corridor to locate Vaiden. North Carrollton lies immediately beside Carrollton but is a separate municipality. Coila and McCarley prevent the central interior from appearing empty and help users estimate the substantial east–west separation between the seats.
County Layout and Location
Wooded hills and stream valleys characterize the interior, with the Big Black River forming part of the southeastern edge. Fast north–south movement is concentrated near Vaiden, whereas western access relies on smaller state routes. Straight-line distance understates that transportation contrast.
Local Context: Carrollton, Vaiden, and Big Black River
Carroll County was established in 1833 and later lost portions of its original territory to neighboring counties. Agriculture, timber, and furniture shaped its rural economy. The dual-seat system fits a landscape where communities and transportation corridors are divided between eastern and western sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Carrollton and North Carrollton the same municipality?
No. They are adjacent but separate municipalities. Their labels appear close together, so the map preserves both names to avoid treating one as a duplicate.
Why compare Big Black River with Carrollton before reading the side toward Leflore?
Carrollton is a settlement anchor, while Big Black River supplies a physical reference for separating the county interior from the approach to Leflore.
