Attala County High Point Trip Report
Date: January 25, 2001
Author: Fred Dale
The following directions are convenient for one who has just visited the cohp of Winston Co. From the
intersection of state highways 25 & 19 in SW Winston Co., go NW on Hwy 19 2.1 mi. to (Attala Co.)
Road 5001 (paved), and turn right. Go 7.0 mi. to Hwy. 14. Turn right (E).
You're now about 13 - 14 mi. E of Kosciusko, MS, if you want to use Hwy. 14 to access this cohp from the
Natchez Trace Pkwy. there.
From the aforementioned intersection on Hwy. 14, go E on 14 just 1.0 mi. to gravel Rd. 5201 and turn left (N).
Go 4.0 mi. on this poorly maintained county road. Now looky-heah -- the boy here turned right onto
an open-gated unmaintained dirt road, with huge a mud hole near its inception. It was only 1.6 mi. to the
fire tower, mostly dry otherwise, but 4-WD was definitely required at the beginning; I must tell you to
bear left at a hill-top intersection of sorts en route to find the firetower. BUT, the tower/cohp surely can
be reached easier from the NW (see map), said road surely accessible further up Rd 5201 than I went! No
views at ground level, but tower is climbable.
