2012 Map of Homewood

About this map

Strong River and Oakohay Creek define the drainage of this rural Mississippi landscape, where a network of family-named roads connects small communities and long-established burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local interments, including Luther Chapel Cem, Zion Cem, and Black Cem. The settlement pattern centers around historic nodes such as Wicker, Lingle, Trenton, and Burns, which are linked by routes like New Good Hope Church Rd and Morton Marathon Rd. This 2012 survey preserves the mid-century rural layout of Scott County, showing the distribution of individual residences and farms tucked between the tributaries of Caney Creek and Yellow Bill Creek.
