1988 Map of Bewelcome

About this map

The Homochitto National Forest occupies the northern half of this rural Amite County landscape, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous small waterways like Brushy Creek, Clear Prong, and Days Creek. The settlement of Bewelcome serves as a central point, surrounded by a network of small country churches including Woodlawn Ch and Star Hill Ch. This 1980s data highlights a community rooted in small rural outposts like Compromise, Enterprise, and White Cap, many of which grew around family-named landmarks such as Graves Chapel and Talbert Cem. The presence of several gravel pits and the Pine Hills Country Club suggests a mix of local industry and recreational development. Farther south, the geography transitions into a denser web of drainage branches, including Meetinghouse Branch and Waggoner Creek, punctuated by older sites like Plymouth Ch and the Waggoner Cemetery.
