PEARL RIVER. A river of Mississippi. It rises in Winston County in the east central part of the State, and flows southward, emptying into the Mississippi Sound after having formed for some distance the boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana (Map: Mississippi, F 8). It is about 300 miles long, but its navigation is impeded by shoals and sand bars.
