About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this Mississippi landscape, marking a historical division at the intersection of Jasper, Jones, Wayne, and Clarke counties. In the mid-1960s, this rural area was characterized by a dense network of small community institutions and specialized land use, including an Oil Field and numerous claypits. A significant concentration of spiritual and educational landmarks serves as a guide for local historians, from the Bogue Homo Sch to the McFarland Ch and Oakland Grove Cem.

The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of Bogue Homo Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Bogue Homo and Terrell Creek. Remote settlements like Sky View and the Community Hall stand alongside family-named sites such as Blackledge Cem and Oak Grove Cem, providing a detailed look at the social geography of the Piney Woods during this era of resource extraction and established rural life.
