2012 Map of Busy Corner

About this map

The W Fork Amite River winds through this rural Amite County landscape, where small communities like Zion Hill and Busy Corner anchor a network of family farms and country roads. The area is exceptionally dense with family-named burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogists researching the residents of Ustane or Brookside. These sites, including Thomas Moore Cem, Old Parson Hill Cem, and the John Durham Cem, are scattered across the terrain, often located at the terminuses of winding lanes such as Pecan Orchard Rd. Transport and drainage are defined by numerous tributaries like Stokes Cr and Zion Hill Cr, which feed into the river basin. The settlement pattern remains sparse, characterized by individual homesteads and small clearings rather than concentrated urban development, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of this portion of southwest Mississippi.
