About this map

The Homochitto River meanders through the heart of the Homochitto National Forest, defining the landscape of Franklin County. This region is anchored by the settlement of Bude, where the street grid includes names like Railroad Ave and S Holly St, signaling its historical connection to the timber and rail industries. Nearby, the smaller communities of Monroe and Eddiceton sit amidst a network of forest roads and creek valleys.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense distribution of family-named burial sites across the terrain, including Walker McDonald Cem, McGee Burnett Cem, and Byrds Chapel Cem. The southern portion of the area is dominated by the expansive Okhissa Lake, a significant water body fed by numerous branches like Wolvington Br and Cane Mill Br, which illustrate the complex drainage system of this wooded territory.
