2021 Map of Meadville

About this map

Meadville serves as the focal point for this survey of southwestern Mississippi, anchored by the Franklin County Courthouse and its surrounding street grid. The settlement pattern is defined by the winding course of the Homochitto River and the Middle Fork Homochitto River, which carve through the dense woodlands of the Homochitto National Forest. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Oak Grove Cem, Smyrna Cem, and Sullivan Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing a dense network of sites for genealogical research. The landscape is interconnected by a series of historic routes including McNair Rd and Meadville Gloster, while recreational features like Clear Spring Lake and the Richardson Creek Trail highlight the managed forest environment. Tributaries like Morgan Fork and Owen Cr drain the timbered ridges, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Franklin County region.
