About this map

Woodville serves as the hub of this Mississippi landscape, where the Illinois Central railroad terminates in a network of historic churches and small family settlements. The terrain is defined by the Homochitto River and its complex system of bayous, including Alligator Bayou and Dixons Bayou. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with rural institutions, from the Evening Star Ch in the north to the Pickneyville Sch in the southwest.

Smaller hamlets like Ashwood, Donegal, and Turnbull are interconnected by winding roads and creeks such as Sara Bayou and Stockfarm Creek. Numerous burial grounds, including the Currier Cem and Liddell Cem, provide specific points for family history research. The presence of the Crosby Lookout Tower and multiple gravel pits suggests an economy rooted in timber and local resources during the mid-century era.
