About this map

The Illinois Central railroad cuts through the northwestern corner of this landscape, serving the community of Bradley as it traverses the wooded terrain of Oktibbeha and Winston Counties. The central portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Noxubee River, which feeds into wetlands and lowlands such as Parker Slough. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to conservation and forestry, split between the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge in the east and the Tombigbee National Forest to the south.

Settlement patterns are deeply tied to local congregations and family landmarks, with numerous rural landmarks like Zion Cypress Ch, Pughs Mill Ch, and Silver Ridge Ch dotting the countryside. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked McClelland Cem and Craig Springs Cem, while local historians can trace the early road network, including the Keaton Tower Road and the small settlement of Morgantown.
