2015 Map of Smithdale

About this map

Smithdale and Hustler anchor this rural landscape in Amite County, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of the W Fork Amite River and E Fork Amite River. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to family-named landmarks and a high density of rural cemeteries, reflecting a long-established community structure. These sites, such as Westbrook Memorial Cem and the Old Good Hope Cem, are scattered across the township lines near the Franklin and Lincoln County borders. This 2015 survey reveals how the local road network, including Fenn Rd and Branch Rd, navigates the many small tributaries like Pumpkin Patch Cr and Shackaloa Cr. The map illustrates a quiet region of Southwest Mississippi where small unincorporated communities like Mars Hill and Thompson remain tied to the land and its winding waterways.
