About this map

Homochitto National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Amite County landscape, where small rural settlements like White Cap, Bewelcome, and Compromise are scattered along a network of winding local roads. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of W Fork Waggoner Cr and E Fork Waggoner Cr, which carve through the timbered hills.

For family historians, this area is notable for its high density of small, family-named burial grounds. Significant sites such as the Big Antioch Cem, Hazelwood Causey Cem, and Bryant Harris Cem are tucked away near crossings like Berwick Cassels Rd and Smylie Rd. The persistence of these names, alongside landmarks like Greengate Lake, provides a clear view of the deep-rooted community ties and land ownership patterns that have shaped this portion of Mississippi over generations.
