Benton County, Mississippi

Ashland and north Mississippi Tennessee border hill country - from Ashland's role as the small governmental hub of one of Mississippi's least populous northern counties to Benton County's scenic Tishomingo and Tennessee Hills terrain (the county's rolling forested hills near the Tennessee border represent some of north Mississippi's most scenic landscapes, with the Bear Creek drainage and surrounding timberland supporting commercial forestry and hunting culture that defines this corner of the state).
