Arnot

Mississippi's ghost towns are river ports and cotton towns, plus lumber camps that clear-cut the pine hills.

Arnot is a ghost town located in Adams County, Mississippi, United States. Arnot was located on the Mississippi River, on the border with Louisiana. It had a post office from 1886 to 1921. In 1900, Arnot had a population of 51. Arnot is located on a barren peninsula called Jackson Point. South of the community is the Arnot Oil Field.

The on-the-ground condition of Arnot is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Arnot is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Arnot is roughly 31.2558, -91.6083 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
