About this map

Brooksville serves as the central hub of this 1970s survey, situated along the north-south corridor of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The town plan is clearly delineated, showing the High Sch and several residential blocks. The surrounding Noxubee County landscape is defined by its agrarian and industrial utility, featuring numerous Quarries, Gravel Pits, and a Claypit that suggest a reliance on local mineral extraction during this era.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of country churches and burial grounds, such as Hopewell Ch, Pilgrim Rest Ch, and the Mt Moriah Cem. The terrain is drained by several named waterways including Wet Water Creek, Joes Creek, and Horse Hunters Creek, which wind through the township. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Macon Municipal Airport appears near the Macedonia 212 Ch, marking the modernization of the local transportation infrastructure.
