About this map

The Homochitto National Forest encompasses a large portion of this area in Southwest Mississippi, where the Homochitto River meanders through a landscape defined by small timber settlements and family burial grounds. The town of Crosby and the adjacent community of Stephenson serve as the primary hubs, located just south of the river and east of the Crosby Municipal Airport.

Genealogists will find an extensive network of cemeteries throughout the woods and along country roads, such as Wesley Chapel Cem, Freewoods Cem, and Royal Chapel Cem. The rural character of the region is evident in the numerous creek systems, including Dry Cr and Foster Cr, which drain the forested hills into the main river valley. Small clusters of homes appear at Rosetta, Coles, and Knoxville, connected by a web of routes like Rosetta Rd and Bunkley Rd.
