About this map

The Homochitto River winds through this southwestern Mississippi landscape, defining the topography of Franklin County as it flows past the town of Bude. This 2012 survey illustrates a diverse geography where industry and recreation meet, most notably at Okhissa Lake, a sprawling reservoir managed by the U.S. Forest Service. To the south, the Bude Oil Field and the Bude Lookout Tower underscore the region's historic reliance on natural resource management and extraction.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of family and community burial sites, including the Montgomery Cem, Byrds Chapel Cem, and Pilgrim Rest Cem. The map also preserves the footprints of smaller settlements like Monroe and Dick, along with aviation history at Dixie Airport. The drainage network, featuring Middleton Creek, Cane Mill Br, and Wolvington Br, shows how the terrain is etched by the watershed of the Homochitto National Forest.
