About this map

Homewood and Jeddo anchor this Monroe County landscape, characterized by a transition from agricultural fields to timbered tracts and active petroleum extraction. The 2011 survey reveals an economy supported by the Wallers Creek Oil Field and the Uriah Oil Field, with the latter located just south of the community of Jeddo. Settlement patterns follow the topography, with Palmers Crossroads serving as a central node for local routes like Doc Caylor Rd and S Palmers Rd.

Genealogists will find a cluster of burial grounds including Semirah Springs Cemetery, Poplar Springs Cemetery, and the Morning Star Cemetery near the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Wallers Creek and Beaverdam Creek, which carve through the elevations near Jenny Bell Hill. At the eastern edge, the town of Uriah serves as a local center, marked by its namesake Uriah Cemetery and the historic presence of the Blacksher Lookout Tower.
