The decennial count and the July 2025 estimate represent different reference dates. Land and water values come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 19.7 residents per square mile uses the 2020 population and land area; it does not imply an even distribution among towns, farms, forests, or floodplain.
Choctaw County Mississippi map: What It Shows
Ackerman is the central administrative label. French Camp ties the western side to the Natchez Trace, Mathiston identifies the northern edge, and Weir extends orientation eastward. Forest shading should be read as a broad land-management context, not as a town boundary or a single recreation site.
County Layout and Location
With 418.2 square miles of land and a 2020 density of 19.7 residents per square mile, Choctaw has large forested and rural spaces between labels. Besa Chitto Creek, Big Bywy Ditch, and upland forest terrain break up the road network. Detailed forest roads require an agency map rather than this overview.
Local Context: Ackerman, Forest, and Natchez Trace
Established in 1833 and named for the Choctaw people, the county combines Indigenous place history with later forest and travel corridors. Ackerman is associated with the early Blackwood Brothers, while French Camp is closely tied to the Natchez Trace. These are distinct local identities within one rural county.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is French Camp relative to Ackerman?
French Camp lies west of Ackerman near the Natchez Trace corridor. The pair separates the county’s central administrative focus from its western historic route.
How does Tombigbee National Forest complement Ackerman when orienting the map toward Webster?
A symbol at Ackerman fixes one named point; Tombigbee National Forest adds a broader frame that can be followed toward Webster without treating every local road as mapped.
