About this map

Bogue Homo and its many tributaries, including the curiously named Luke Fluffer Cr and Duke Fluffer Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Clarke County landscape. The settlement of Goodwater is anchored by the Goodwater Cem near Goodwater Cr, while the northern portion of the map shows the community of Harmony and its associated Harmony Cem and Harmony Chapel Cem. Historical transit routes are evident in the winding path of Old Stagecoach Rd, which cuts across the northern terrain.

Industrial and agricultural transport is serviced by a network of county roads connecting small nodes like Nancy and Hale, where Salem Cem is located. The crossing at Wilson Bridge over the Bogue Homo provides a key point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by creek bottoms and small family-named landmarks. The map effectively documents the distribution of local cemeteries, such as McGowan Chapel Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi.
