About this map

Eddiceton and the neighboring settlement of Eddicetown anchor the southern landscape of this 2012 survey, situated near the banks of the Homochitto River. The region’s economic character is defined by the extraction of natural resources, evidenced by the Bonus Oil Field, the Willis Branch Oil Field, and the Eddiceton Oil Field. These sites are interspersed among a network of rural roads such as Veto Rd and Eddiceton Rd that connect isolated communities like New Hope and Veto.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous rural burial sites scattered across the terrain. Genealogists can locate legacy landmarks such as Sarepta Cem, Cool Springs Cem, Zumbro Cem, and Newman Cem. The intricate drainage system, including Fifteenmile Cr, Steep Hill Cr, and Maxwell Br, illustrates how the creeks and branches dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries away from the river’s immediate floodplain.
