2024 Map of Cliftonville

About this map

Cliftonville and the surrounding Noxubee County landscape are defined by the meandering course of Bogue Chitto and its numerous tributaries. This area reveals a classic rural Mississippi settlement pattern, with small communities like Deerbrook and Prairie Point connected by a network of local roads such as Old Macon Rd and Buggs Ferry Rd. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Deerbrook Cem, South Haven Cem, and the uniquely named X - Prairie Cem at X-Prairie, offers significant data for genealogical research in this part of the state. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways, including Plum Creek, Woodward Creek, and Tibby Creek, which likely dictated the early agricultural development and road placements. The road names themselves, such as Porter Swann Rd and Johnny Stewart Rd, preserve the names of local families who shaped this corner of the county.
