Description
Branches of Puskus Creek flow through a wooded area.
In 1949, MGM adapted Faulkner’s Intruder in the Dust into a motion picture. Four scenes were filmed at Greenfield Farm, including one at Puskus Creek, where a murdered boy is pulled out of quicksand.
Puskus Creek is about eleven miles long. Like Greenfield Farm, the creek is part of the Holly Springs National Forest. Its name comes from a Choctaw word that means “baby”. Branches of Puskus Creek snaked across the east side of the property and were fed by underground springs. This photograph was taken on a rainy day. Moss and Christmas ferns added rich greens to the winter landscape.
