About this map

The settlement of Bogue Chitto serves as a central hub in this section of Lincoln County, defined by a network of rural roads and the primary watercourse that shares its name. The Bogue Chitto river meanders south through the landscape, joined by numerous tributaries including Gills Cr, Boone Cr, and Myers Cr. This area reflects a long-established pattern of small communities and family landholdings, evidenced by the distribution of several local burial sites such as Stewarts Cem, Rawls Cem, and Price Cem.

To the south of the main town, the community of Norfield sits along the rail line and main road corridor, while smaller locales like Blueberry Hill and Thayer punctuate the surrounding countryside. The map detail highlights a transition between the more developed village centers and the agricultural and timbered lands along creeks like Sawdust Br and Mount Pleasant Cr. Notable landmarks for local history researchers include Missionary Cem and the residential layout of Bogue Chitto along streets like Monticello St and South St.
