2000 Map of Little Springs

About this map

The Homochitto National Forest encompasses much of this landscape, where the headwaters of the Bogue Chitto river system and Mc Call Creek carve through the terrain. At the turn of the millennium, the small settlement of Little Springs remained a focal point for the surrounding rural community, anchored by family-named landmarks and long-standing country churches. The density of sites like Ebenezer Ch, Ramah Ch, and Mt Gilead Ch suggests a history of dispersed but tight-knit congregations across the hills of Franklin and Lincoln counties. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous well-documented burial sites throughout the area, including McGenée Cem, Nettles Cem, and Beam Cem. The local economy is reflected in the network of timber roads and scattered Gravel Pits, while names like Tabernacle and Bill Lofton Road preserve the identities of the families who shaped this corner of Mississippi.
