About this map

Smithdale and the surrounding rural communities of Amite County are defined by the winding tributaries of the W Fork Amite River and E Fork Amite River. The landscape is a network of small family-named settlements and local crossroads including Hustler, Mars Hill, and Mount Olive. These areas remain largely agrarian, tied together by a dense grid of county roads such as Rollinson RD and Fenn RD.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history through the numerous family and community burial sites, including the Woten and Carraway Cem, Harrell-Kirkland Cem, and Pate-Gardner Cem. The cultural fabric of the region is further evidenced by landmarks like the Church of God Cem and the small residential clusters at Thompson, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of southwest Mississippi.
