Duck Hill is located at the Junction of US Hiway 51 and Mississippi Hiway 404, with an access road to Interstate 55. Rail service is available through Illinois Central and Gulf Railways,  both freight and passenger trains go from Chicago, IL to New Orleans, La. Duck Hill was originally in Carroll County Mississippi until after the Civil War, circa 1870 then several large counties were broken into smaller counties by the Federal Government. A new county named Montgomery was formed from parts of Carroll and Choctaw County. Duck Hill is the Northern most town in Montgomery County and situated approximately 100 miles south of Memphis, Tn and 100 miles North of Jackson, Ms. The town was named after a Choctaw indian supposed Chieftan named Duck. There are no documentation of this to my knowledge. There is a large hill located to the Northeast of the town at a distance of about 1 mile. No ducks live on the hill and there is not a water source on top of the hill, just a deep 30 foot hole dug by and man seeking iron ore in the early part of the 1900's.  The numerous sand stone in the soil do contain iron but not enough to smelt iron from them. Duck Hill is mostly residential but has a bank, several churchs, small stores, a post office and a cotton gin. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi went to grammar school there a few years before moving to the southern part of the state, his family started out in Carroll County, Ms.
