About this map

Roxie serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the southern edge where a grid of local streets like Alabama St and Mississippi St meet the northern boundary of the Homochitto National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding drainages of Morgan Fork and Wells Cr, which snake through the timbered hills and small clearings of western Mississippi. North of the town center, the small settlements of Orange and Hamburg anchor a network of rural roads that connect numerous family and community burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a high density of documented sites, from the Old Rose Hill Cem in the north to the Beech Grove Cem near the eastern margin. The prevalence of features such as Saint Paul Cem and Mount Carmel Cem alongside named water sources like Wildwood Spring indicates a long-settled rural community. The landscape remains largely defined by these small-scale agrarian and forest boundaries, preserved just as they were in the mid-2010s.
