About this map

Bienville National Forest blankets much of the central landscape where the borders of Scott and Smith counties meet. Small rural settlements like Homewood, Lingle, and Lorena are connected by a network of county roads such as Smith Co Rd 502 and Smith Co Rd 558. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial sites, including the Lingle Cem, Black Cem, and the Derrick Cem, which are often found near local congregations like the Zion Lutheran Cem or the New Good Hope Church.

The hydrography of the region is defined by numerous small waterways like Yellow Bill Cr, Caney Creek, and Beech Br, which drain the timberlands. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Burns sits near the confluence of Yellow Bill Cr and Mile Br, surrounded by a cluster of historical sites including the Burns Baptist Cem and Barber Cem. This detailed survey offers an intricate look at the enduring rural infrastructure and genealogical sites of these Mississippi communities.
