Linn is a small, unincorporated community in Sunflower County, Mississippi. Being "unincorporated" means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county area.
Linn is easy to find because it's located right on Mississippi Highway 442. If you travel about 6 miles (10 km) east, you'll reach Doddsville. If you go about 3 miles (5 km) north, you'll find Steiner.
