About this map

Cliftonville and Deerbrook anchor this rural Noxubee County landscape, where a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks defines the social geography of the 1970s. The terrain is structured by winding waterways like Bogue Chitto Creek and Plum Creek, which divide the agricultural fields and woodlots. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous small congregations such as Pilgrim Grove Ch, Baldwin Ch, and New Bethel Ch.

Evidence of local infrastructure and public services appears through the South Haven Sch and the Deerbrook Lookout Tower, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the western sections. The eastern edge near Prairie Point shows the transition toward the river bottomlands. This survey provides a precise record of rural Mississippi life before significant modernization changed the character of these smaller settlements and their surrounding farmstead networks.
