2015 Map of McBride

About this map

The boundary between Claiborne Co and Jefferson Co cuts through this rural Mississippi landscape, dominated by the northern reaches of the Homochitto National Forest. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed communities such as Violet, Peyton, and Blue Hill, with many of the local roads following the high ground between the numerous creek drainages. A dense network of family-named cemeteries, including Antioch Cem, Trevillion Cem, and Sarepta Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research in this region. The terrain is deeply dissected by watercourses like Clarks Creek, Johnson Cr, and Buckins Cr, illustrating the complex drainage systems that flow toward the Homochitto River basin. This survey documents the intersection of public forest land and private holdings along established routes like McBride Rd and Beech Grove Rd.
