2021 Map of Little Springs

About this map

Little Springs sits at the heart of this Franklin County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the timberlands of the Homochitto National Forest. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of small cemeteries scattered across the terrain. These sites, such as McGehee Cem, Ramah Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, often align with the ridges and hollows defined by the drainages of McCall Creek, Horse Cr, and Wactor Mill Cr. The area is characterized by its rural isolation and its reliance on a complex web of local roads like Bogue Chitto Rd and Meadville Rd that navigate the divide between Franklin and Lincoln counties. The arrangement of these roads and watercourses suggests a long-standing pattern of settlement based on the topography of the creek basins.
