About this map

Artesia and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties are documented here in detail. The settlement of Sessums sits along Railroad Spur Rd, while the town of Artesia is defined by its grid near Bush Crossing and Railroad St. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including Fox Cem, Rice Cem, Sessums Cem, Seitz Cem, Curtis Chapel Cem, and Peters Cem.

The landscape is drained by a network of creeks, most notably Catalpa Cr, Sand Cr, and Red Bud Cr. Modern infrastructure is visible through the presence of the Oktibbeha Airport and several residential developments like Belaire Estates and Hickory Grove Estates. Small communities like Black Jack and Mayhew serve as focal points for the rural road network, which includes named routes such as Turkey Creek Rd and Blackjack Rd.
