2024 Map of Forkville

About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the eastern and southern portions of this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the central Mississippi woodlands. The settlement of Forkville serves as a local hub, situated amidst a network of rural roads such as D S Shoemaker Rd and Fairground Rd. To the south, the edge of Morton appears near the Rankin and Scott county line, anchored by the Morton Memorial Cem and Hodge Hill Cem. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Fannegusha Creek and Coffee Bogue carving through the lowlands. Smaller communities like Branch and Line Prairie are connected by a web of family-named thoroughfares, including M C Lum Rd and Thompson Rd, reflecting a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern that persists into the present day.
