Mississippi Highway 7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Highway 7 and abandoned Illinois Central Railroad bridges over the Tallahatchie River at the Lafayette-Marshall county line. This sweeping bottomland, located approximately halfway between Holly Springs and Oxford, was the inspiration for fictional settings in several works by William Faulkner.

Mississippi Highway 7 runs generally north-south from the Tennessee state line in Benton County to Belzoni, Mississippi. It travels approximately 165 miles, serving Humphreys, Leflore, Carroll, Grenada, Yalobusha, Lafayette, Marshall, and Benton Counties.
