General Carroll's Road was a pioneer route through territorial-era lower Mississippi that connected Lake Pontchartrain to the Choctaw Agency, which was located about five miles south of present-day Jackson, Mississippi. The route was named after William Carroll, and followed an existing route between Madisonville, Louisiana and Liberty, Mississippi, but the last 125 miles were "blazed out" as a way to get Carroll's men back from the Battle of New Orleans while avoiding Natchez, Mississippi. Once they reached the Choctaw Agency it was a straight shot back down the Natchez Trace to Tennessee. Also known as Carroll's Trace, a fragment was still visible in Copiah County as of 1974.
