2015 Map of Homochitto

About this map

The Homochitto River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, carving a wide valley through the heart of the Homochitto National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally rich in burial sites, documenting numerous family and community cemeteries such as Marvin Huff Cem, John Huff Cem, and James Whittington Cem. The small settlements of Bunkley, Mount Olive, and Eunice are scattered along a network of forest roads and local connectors like Casey Hunt Rd and Oxford-Meadville Rd. In the southern reaches, the community of Oxford serves as a hub near Days Creek, while the presence of the Old Mount Vernon Cem and Mount Vernon Cem near the town of Homochitto points toward layers of local settlement history. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage network, including Strong Br and Birdman Br, which feed into the primary river system.
