About this map

Franklin County's landscape is defined by a dense network of petroleum exploration and small rural settlements during the early 21st century. The terrain is subdivided by numerous named oil fields, including the East Franklin Oil Field, Roxie Oil Field, and the White Apple Oil Field. These industrial sites are interspersed among older community markers, particularly a high concentration of family and local cemeteries such as Owens Cem, McMillan Cem, and Aldridge Cem.

Waterways like Wells Cr, Tony Cr, and Panther Cr drain the area, while County Lake serves as a central landmark near the County Lake Oil Field. The road network, including White Apple Rd and Old Hwy 33, connects dispersed hamlets like White Apple and Knoxville, illustrating the persistent rural character of southwest Mississippi even as energy extraction became a dominant feature of the local economy.
