Route description

MS 792 is located in southern Lowndes and northern Noxubee counties.[2] In 2012, Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) calculated as many as 1,800 vehicles traveling west of Trinity Road and Weyerhaeuser Road, and as few as 540 vehicles traveling south of Bluitt Road.[3] The route is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3,[4] and is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation.[1]
MS 792 starts at a
T-intersection with US 45, near the Black Prairie wildlife management area.[2] It travels east along Carson Road, going through a small group of trees and farmland. At Gun Club Road, the landscape changes completely into farmland.[5] Near 3.5 miles (5.6 km) later, Carson Road intersects Weyerhaeuser Road, that leads to cellulose fiber mills.[5][6][7] MS 792 later turns southeastward at Old Macon Road, and crosses over a river. South of Plum Grove Road, the route shifts slightly to the west. Old Macon Road enters Noxubee County, while crossing over a small creek. MS 792 continues south for a few more miles, before ending at MS 388.[5]
History
The route was constructed by 1998, connecting from US 45 to MS 388. MS 792 was fully paved,[8][9] and no significant changes have happened on the route since.[9][2]
