About this map

The Noxubee River meanders through a sprawling wetland landscape where the borders of Oktibbeha, Winston, and Noxubee counties converge. This environment is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bluff Lake and Loakfoma Lake, alongside specialized managed areas like Green Timber Reservoir Number One. The presence of Griffin Slough and Dickerson Arm illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the lowlands, while the Jordan Canal suggests historical efforts to manage these waters.

Settlement is concentrated near the community of Oktoc, supported by a grid of rural roads such as Robinson Rd and Oktoc Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Bethel Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Noxubee Cem. Historical transportation routes are represented by the Dummy Line Rd, a name often associated with former logging or short-line railroads, while the Beaver Dam Trail provides modern access through the river bottomlands.
