About this map

The Homochitto River meanders across this landscape of the Homochitto National Forest, where the borders of Adams, Wilkinson, and Franklin counties converge. By the late 1980s, the region retained its rural character, marked by small settlements like Garden City and Ireland. The land is heavily dissected by numerous drainages, including Beaver Bayou and Siloam Bayou, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Mississippi piney woods.

Genealogists will find value in the scattered landmarks such as Perrytown Ch and Homer Hill Cem, alongside historical points like the Buffalo Lookout. The map also documents local industry through several Oil Wells peppered throughout the timberlands. From Darrington in the west to Perrytown in the center, the survey provides a detailed record of the roads and family-named branches that defined this portion of southwest Mississippi before modern development expanded.
