2015 Map of Eddiceton

About this map

The Homochitto National Forest encompasses the rolling creek bottoms and timberlands where the Homochitto River cuts through southwestern Mississippi. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape where modern forestry management overlays a deep layer of local genealogy and settlement. Small communities like Eddiceton and New Hope serve as anchors in a terrain defined by an extensive network of family and community burial grounds, including the Eddiceton Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Sarepta Cem. The drainage patterns of Fifteenmile Cr, Maxwell Br, and Steep Hill Cr dictate the winding paths of local routes such as Veto Rd and Hospital Rd. This map is particularly valuable for researchers tracing rural lineage across the Franklin and Jefferson county line, as it preserves the locations of numerous historic landmarks like McDanial Cem and Williams Cem that remain significant to the area's social history.
