2024 Map of Busy Corner

About this map

Homochitto National Forest dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, where the Franklin and Amite county lines meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Middleton Creek, Caston Creek, and Stokes Creek, which eventually feed into the West Fork Amite River as it winds through the south. This area is a significant corridor for family history, marked by a high density of rural burial grounds such as the Old-Parson Hill Cem, Whittington Memorial Cem, and Nunnery Cem. Small settlements like Ustane and Busy Corner serve as local anchors, while the Zion Hill Baptist Church stands as a notable landmark along the winding southern roads. The map illustrates a rural Mississippi economy built on timber and agriculture, connected by a web of local routes like Rollinson Rd and Coleman Rd.
