Homochitto National Forest encompasses much of this southwestern Mississippi landscape, where a network of rural settlements and family burial grounds defines the local geography. The area around Zion Hill and Ustane is marked by a high density of small cemeteries, reflecting generations of family settlement along the ridges and creek valleys. Waterways like Middleton Creek, Candy Cr, and the W Fork Amite River dictate the winding path of local routes such as Rollinson Rd and Whittington Rd. The map also captures several distinct communities including Busy Corner in the southwest and Brookside on the eastern edge. This document serves as an essential resource for genealogists tracing ancestral roots through specific local landmarks like Old Parson Hill Cem, New Zion Cem, and Whittington Cem.
