2015 Map of Holmesville

About this map

The winding Bogue Chitto river dominates this rural landscape in Pike County, weaving past the village of Holmesville. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family burial grounds, such as the Martin-McNabb Cem, Andrews-Bickham-Quin Cem, and Charles Young Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Small crossroads communities like Stella, Beardens, and Barto punctuate the map, connected by local routes like Summit Holmesville Rd and McComb Holmesville Rd. The terrain is shaped by numerous tributaries including Topisaw Creek and Leatherwood Cr, which feed into the main river channel. This survey documents the persistent rural character of southern Mississippi, where namesake family landmarks and historical cemeteries remain the primary anchors of the community landscape.
