2024 Map of Crosby

About this map

The Homochitto River carves a winding path through the southwest corner of Mississippi, defining the landscape where the borders of Franklin, Amite, and Wilkinson counties converge. This modern study of the area centered on Crosby reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the Homochitto National Forest, which blankets much of the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. The river’s historical importance as a transport artery is noted by the locations of Harvard Ferry and Wilsons Ferry, point markers of a time when river crossings were vital to local commerce.
