2000 Map of Betheden

About this map

The Tombigbee National Forest and Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge converge here, creating a landscape defined by federal land management and dispersed rural communities. Settlement patterns at the turn of the millennium are anchored by small centers like Webster and Betheden, which are connected by a network of light-duty roads winding through the undulating terrain. The area's social history is recorded in its numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Bevil Hill Ch, Mount Olive Ch, and Antioch Church Cem. Hydrologically, the land is carved by winding waterways such as Nanih Waiya Creek and Yellow Creek, with a localized economy indicated by a Sandpit and a Fish Farm near Webster. A Communication Tower and a large Pipeline corridor represent the modern infrastructure crossing this traditional Mississippi landscape.
