About this map

The Homochitto National Forest encompasses much of this landscape along the border of Franklin Co and Amite Co. Centered on the winding path of the Homochitto River, this 2018 survey documents a deeply rural region characterized by small settlements like Bunkley, Eunice, and Oxford. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds including the Marvin Huff Cem, Old Mount Vernon Cem, and Jonathan Day Cem.

Transportation is defined by a network of rural routes such as Robertson Rd and the Brushy Creek Horse Trail, which navigate the many tributaries feeding the main river valley. Numerous creeks, including Caston Cr, Brushy Cr, and Walker Br, create a fragmented topography that has influenced the placement of homesteads and church-centered communities like Mount Olive. This map provides a detailed record of land use and property heritage in southwest Mississippi.
