About this map

Artesia and Mayhew serve as central points in this landscape at the intersection of Lowndes and Oktibbeha Counties. The area is defined by a dense concentration of small rural cemeteries and church sites, including the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Mount Pelier Missionary Baptist Church Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi.

Agricultural patterns are clearly visible along the drainage systems of Sand Cr and Catalpa Cr. The presence of the East Mississippi Community College Golden Triangle Campus and the Oktibbeha Airport indicates the modern evolution of this once purely agrarian region. From the rail-adjacent community of Sessums to the family-named landmarks like Curtis Chapel Cem, the map documents a transition between early settlement roots and contemporary educational and transport infrastructure.
