About this map

The Homochitto National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, where the border of Franklin and Amite counties meets. This 1980s landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Amite River, including the West Fork Amite River, which snakes through a region of dispersed rural settlements. Distinctive family-named landmarks like Butler Hill and Zion Hill provide geographical anchors for local researchers.

Small communities such as Busy Corner and Ustane appear alongside a significant density of country churches and cemeteries, reflecting the area's deep-rooted genealogy. Features like the Rosehill Ch, Clayhill Ch, and Bethlehem Ch are clustered near historic burial grounds such as McGehee Cem and Wilkinson Cem. The local economy is represented by more contemporary additions including an Oil Well, a Gravel Pit, and a Fish Farm near Brookside.
