About this map

Oldenburg and Kirby anchor this section of southwest Mississippi, where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Homochitto River carve a dense network of drainages through Homochitto National Forest. The landscape is defined by its rural character and numerous small family or community burial grounds, such as Oldenburg Cem, Mormon Cem, and Bedford Cem, which are scattered along the ridgelines and creek valleys.

Transport in this era relies on a grid of established local routes, including Oldenburg Rd and McNair Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Lehmann Cr and Cameron Creek. The map documents the boundary between Jefferson and Franklin counties, showing how the original land survey system shaped the distribution of small settlements and creek-side land tracts like those along Morgan Fork and Sauchiqua Br.
