About this map

Roxie serves as the primary hub in this late-twentieth-century study of the southwest Mississippi timberlands. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Morgan Fork and Coles Creek as they weave through the northern reaches of the Homochitto National Forest. Historical transport patterns are visible in the Old Railroad Grade that connects the settlement of Hamburg to the surrounding forest, reflecting the region's long reliance on rail for the timber trade.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including family-named locations such as Guice Cem, Fulton Cem, and the Old Beach Grove Cem. These markers, alongside community centers like Daughters Temple and Bethlehem Ch, provide a clear view of the social fabric of Franklin Co and Jefferson Co during this era of rural transition. Large-scale infrastructure is noted by a prominent Pipeline and several Drill Holes, signaling the continued industrial interest in the area's natural resources.
