About this map

The Homochitto National Forest dominates this section of southwest Mississippi, where the headwaters of the Homochitto River and McCall Creek carve through the timberlands. At the turn of the millennium, the map shows a landscape defined by timber management and rural crossroads, with the settlement of McCall Creek serving as a central point along the Lucien Road. The presence of Dummyline Road serves as a persistent geographic reminder of the region's logging history, tracing the path where old timber rails once ran.

Local congregations and family sites are densely mapped throughout the forest inholdings, including New Salem Ch, Cool Spring Ch, and Bethel Ch. Small communities like Shucktown and Quentin are anchored by their proximity to water bodies like Horse Creek and Molls Creek. Several Gravel Pits are noted near the creek beds, indicating the small-scale extractive industry that supported the local road network during this era.
