2012 Map of French Camp

About this map

French Camp and Huntsville anchor this rural landscape in central Mississippi, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve a complex drainage pattern through Choctaw County. The historical significance of the area is highlighted by the winding path of Old Trace Rd, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Natchez Trace through this timbered territory. Family history is well-preserved across the land, with several established burial grounds including French Camp Cem, Hemphill Cem, and Branscome Cem positioned near old crossroads. A dense network of local routes like Dorisville Rd and Mt Salem Rd connects these settlements, following the ridges above Poplar Creek and Wolf Creek. The transition from larger county highways to primitive forest tracks underscores the remote, agrarian character of the region as it entered the 21st century.
