2018 Map of Eddiceton

About this map

The Homochitto National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in southern Mississippi, where the Homochitto River meanders through the eastern hills of Franklin and Jefferson counties. The settlement of Eddiceton and the nearby Quentin serve as the primary focal points in the south, while the community of New Hope occupies the central interior. This 2018 survey provides significant value for genealogists and local historians, as it documents an extensive network of small family and community cemeteries. These sites, including Montgomery Cem, Eddicetown Cem, and Cool Springs Cem, are scattered across the timbered terrain, often accessed only by the intricate system of forest roads such as Veto Rd and Eddiceton Rd. Numerous drainage features like Fifteenmile Cr and Steep Hill Cr define the topography, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development.
