Pinchback Rd Spring

## Overview Pinchback Rd Spring is a public drinking spring located in the rural community of Meeks, Mississippi, in Carroll County. Situated in the rolling hills of the Mississippi Delta region, this spring emerges in an area known for its rich alluvial soils and underlying geological formations that have historically given rise to numerous natural water sources. Carroll County, established in 1833, has a long history of rural settlement, and natural springs like this one have served as vital water sources for local communities for generations. The spring sits at an elevation typical of the transitional zone between the Mississippi Delta flatlands and the loess bluffs to the east — a geological setting that often produces reliable groundwater-fed springs as water filters through layers of sand, gravel, and clay. Visitors have historically used springs in this part of Mississippi as sources of drinking water, though water quality can vary with seasonal conditions. ## Directions 1.
