Mississippi Highway 555

Both sections of the route is located in Adams County.[5] MS 555 is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3,[6] as part of the state highway system. MDOT maintains the section from MS 930/932 and US 61/84 to MS 554, and Adams County maintains all other sections.[1]

The southern section of MS 555 starts at the intersection of Ogden Road and Kingston Road, northwest of the unincorporated area of Kingston.[5] The route travels northwestward along Kingston Road, crossing over Sharp Bayou. Continuing through the forest,[2] the road crosses over Second Creek and intersects Greenfield Road. MS 555 then turns westward, passing by the Cherry Grove Plantation,[7] and it ends at US 61 at a T-intersection.[5]

The northern section of the route starts at the intersection of D'Evereux Drive (MS 930/932) and Prentiss Drive (US 61/84) in suburban Natchez.[3] MS 555 then travels northwestward to its intersection with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street and turns northward. The road intersects multiple driveways, leaving Natchez as Dr. Martin Luther King Street.[8] The route enters into a forested area, and it travels northeastward at Pineview Drive. It intersects MS 554 at Pine Ridge,[5] where the Pine Ridge Presbyterian Church is located.[9] The road passes by Mount Repose soon after.[3][10] MS 555 continues through rural Adams County until its intersection with Church Hill Road. The road turns northwest toward the Anna site.[5] After traveling through a dense forest, MS 555 intersects Quitman Road and continues on a gravel road.[3] Past the intersection at Thornburg Lake Road,[5] the route ends at the legally defined terminus at the old Pine Ridge School.[6] The road continues eastward as Anna's Bottom Road.[5]

In 1955, a road from Natchez to Selma was constructed.[11][12] MS 555 was designated two years later, after a new road was created, connecting from Natchez to northern Adams County.[13][14] In 1960, the route was extended along a gravel road to the Adams–Jefferson county line.[15][16] Two years later, the southern segments of MS 554, which extended from MS 563 in Wilkinson County to US 61 in Adams County, was renumbered to MS 555.[16][17] The southern segment was removed from the 1967 map. The gravel section of the northern segment was also removed.[18][19] The southern reappeared on the 1974 map, but no longer state maintained, along with the segment north of MS 554.[20][21] In 1998, the northern segment was truncated to Church Hill Road,[22][23] but the legally designated terminus remain unchanged.[6]
