About this map

The Bogue Chitto river system dominates this portion of Pike and Walthall Counties, where small farming communities and historic family burial grounds are scattered across the landscape. The unincorporated community of Holmesville serves as a central landmark, situated near the confluence of Topisaw Creek and the main river. This modern survey reflects a region defined by its rural heritage, where many locations are identified by family names that suggest deep genealogical roots in the area.

Researchers will find numerous small cemeteries, such as the Andrews Bickham Quin Cem and Charles Young Cem, which are preserved alongside local routes like Summit Holmesville Rd. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Leatherwood Cr and Love Cr, connecting smaller hubs like Conerly, Beardens, and Vaughts. The map also captures the eastern boundary between Pike Co and Walthall Co, illustrating how these historical settlements continue to exist within the modern infrastructure of Highway 98.
