About this map

Homochitto National Forest dominates this landscape in Franklin County, defining a region where timbered terrain and resource extraction define the local economy. The map reveals a high density of industrial development through numerous sites like the North Knoxville Oil Field, Dry Creek Oil Field, and Richardson Creek Oil Field, which are interspersed among small rural settlements and homesteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered family and community landmarks, including White Apple, Roxie, and the namesake Knoxville. The spiritual and communal history of the area is preserved through documented sites such as Zion Ch, Union Ch, and the McMillian Cem. This survey illustrates how established local roads like Old Highway 33 and Knoxville Road connect these pockets of habitation across a landscape carved by Wells Creek and Tony Creek.
