About this map

The Homochitto National Forest dominates this section of the Adams and Franklin County border, where a complex network of bayous and creeks defines the drainage of the Mississippi piney woods. Near the small settlement of Jeannette, the landscape is marked by active resource extraction, evidenced by the Whites Creek Oil Field, Locust Hill Oil Field, and numerous scattered Oil Wells.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several rural landmarks tucked into the timberland, such as Pine Grove Ch and New Hope Ch, along with family burial sites including Holmes Cem, Carter Cem, and Cory Cem. The map traces the winding paths of Sandy Bayou and Pellucid Bayou, showing how industrial development and natural waterways converged in this corner of Mississippi during the late 20th century.
