About this map

The Noxubee River winds through this mid-1960s landscape, marking the boundary between Oktibbeha and Winston Counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and protected lands, with the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge dominating the eastern section and the Tombigbee National Forest covering the southern reaches. These public lands are interspersed with small, enduring rural communities such as Bradley and Morgantown.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the distribution of community landmarks, particularly the numerous country churches like Jones Chapel, Silver Ridge Ch, and Redeemer Ch. The Illinois Central railroad cuts across the northwest corner, serving the northern settlements. From the Craig Springs Cem to the remote Hamill Spring, the map documents a transition between active agriculture and large-scale conservation tracts during the mid-20th century.
