The Clarke County Mississippi map is organized around Quitman and the Chickasawhay River rather than a single highway. Enterprise, Stonewall, Pachuta, and Shubuta reveal two different travel patterns: the I-59 and US 11 corridor in the northwest and the US 45 corridor through the eastern interior.

The decennial count and the July 2025 estimate represent different reference dates. Land and water values come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 22.6 residents per square mile uses the 2020 population and land area; it does not imply an even distribution among towns, farms, forests, or floodplain.
Clarke County Mississippi map: What It Shows
Quitman and nearby Stonewall anchor the eastern half, while Shubuta follows the river valley to the south. Pachuta and Enterprise pull the view northwest toward I-59, US 11, and the Chunky River. Those labels show why a trip across Clarke County often combines corridors instead of following one straight route.
County Layout and Location
Clarke stretches across pine uplands drained toward the Pascagoula River system. The interstate corridor clips the northwest, whereas US 45 serves the eastern communities. Between them lie rolling forestland and tributaries, so the county functions as a set of linked valleys and roads rather than a uniform rectangular grid.
Local Context: Quitman and the Chickasawhay
Rail connections and timber processing shaped communities such as Enterprise, Stonewall, and Shubuta. Although the scale of individual mills changed, the separated line of towns along river and transportation corridors still reflects that industrial geography. Quitman’s civic role supplies a counterweight to those former production centers.
Ways to Use This Map
- Compare the eastern US 45 line with the interstate corridor
- Locate former mill towns along river and rail routes
- Orient a study of the Chickasawhay drainage
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Interstate 59 pass through Quitman?
No. I-59 crosses the northwestern side near the Enterprise and Pachuta approaches. Quitman lies farther east and is more directly associated with US 45.
Which different map roles are served by Quitman, Chickasawhay River, and the Lauderdale side?
Quitman works as a place anchor, Chickasawhay River as a landscape anchor, and Lauderdale as an outer reference for reading three different layers of the county.
