About this map

The Noxubee Hills provide the backdrop for this Choctaw County landscape, where the Yockanookany River and Besa Chitto Cr drain a terrain of small settlements and family cemeteries. Ackerman serves as the primary hub, its street grid organized near the crossing of local routes and the railroad corridor. Surrounding the town are several established rural communities, including Fentress and Chester, each with namesake burying grounds like Fentress Cem and Chester Cem that speak to generations of local residency.

Outdoor landmarks such as Choctaw Lake and the Noxubee River headwaters define the eastern portion of the map. Genealogists will find many small religious and family sites, from the South Union Cem in the west to Cathledge Cem in the southeast. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the Ackerman Choctaw County Airport and a network of named country roads like McGee-Thompson Rd, linking the scattered homesteads of the early 21st century.
