2024 Map of Doloroso

About this map

The Homochitto River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, defining the transition between the lowlands and the densely wooded ridges of the Homochitto National Forest. This modern survey reveals a region deeply rooted in its agricultural past, with numerous roads such as Commencement Plantation Rd, Ellisie Plantation Rd, and Springfield Pltn Rd reflecting the historical land divisions of Wilkinson and Adams counties. Small communities like Doloroso and Possum Corner serve as focal points for local life, supported by spiritual centers such as the Free Spring Baptist Church. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Free Spring Baptist Church Cem, Geter Cem, Bunch Cem, and Dawson Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills and creek valleys like Rolley Creek and Hurricane Creek.
