Can anyone tell me where the "Mississippi" precinct was probably located, in reference to the 1820 U.S. Census for (old) Feliciana Parish?

I would think it was probably along the Mississippi River, but would like an opinion from someone "in the know".

This would have included the areas of present-day East and West Feliciana parishes.

As a process of elimiantion, here is a list of all the enumeration precints that were listed in the 1820 census for Feliciana Parish:
Amite
Beaver Creek
Bigg Bayou Sarah
Clear Creek
Comite
Jackson
Little Bayou Sarah
Mississippi
Pretty Creek
Red Wood Creek
Richland Creek
Saint Francisville
Sandy Creek
Thompson Creek

Can anyone recognize which of these belong present-day East or West Feliciana Parish, and then guess where the Mississippi precinct probably was?

Thanks for your attention!

Kind regards,
