About this map

Boon sits at the heart of this survey, surrounded by the headwaters of Town Creek and Nanih Waiya Creek. The landscape is defined by its rural network of small churches, including Zion Chapel and New Hope Ch, which served as community anchors in the early 1970s. This edition includes purple photorevision updates from the early 1980s, documenting changes in the terrain such as a Landing Strip and various extractive sites like a Claypit and Sandpit.

A notable portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Crystal Ridge Indian Reservation, reflecting the enduring cultural presence in Winston County. The geography is etched by numerous tributaries such as Murphy Creek and Cork Creek, while an artificial Canal and a Gravel Pit further north indicate the human modifications to the natural drainage patterns of this Mississippi timber and agricultural region.
