2015 Map of Artesia

About this map

Artesia serves as a primary junction in this portrait of eastern Mississippi, where the boundary between Oktibbeha Co and Lowndes Co bisects a landscape of drainage basins and rural crossroads. The area is defined by the winding paths of Catalpa Cr, Sand Cr, and Red Bud Cr, which influence the placement of early settlements and family landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township lines, including Sessums Cem near the community of Sessums, Mayhew Cem in Mayhew, and others like Sand Creek Cem and Parrish Cem. The infrastructure reflects a blend of traditional agricultural layout and mid-century development, seen in the residential pockets of Belaire Estates and Hickory Grove Estates near the Oktibbeha Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the historic rail-stop character of the village of Artesia to the modern road networks such as Old Highway 82 W and Artesia W Point Rd.
