About this map

The Homochitto National Forest dominates this landscape where Franklin, Amite, and Wilkinson counties meet. The Homochitto River snakes through the northern half of the territory, defining the terrain near the small settlements of Freewoods and Rosetta. This survey reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Nathaniel McDowell Cem and Huff Cem, which are vital markers for genealogists tracing the early rural residents of this timber-rich region.

The town of Crosby serves as the central hub, supported by the Crosby Municipal Airport and a network of rural roads like Lake Nebo Rd and Rosetta Rd. Religious life is mapped through sites like Union Methodist Church Cem and Royal Chapel Cem, while the winding courses of Foster Cr and Cypress Cr illustrate the drainage patterns of the coastal plain. The distribution of small cemeteries like Berryhill Cem and Day Cem points to a history of dispersed farmstead life across the woodland and creek bottoms.
