About this map

Crawford sits at the intersection of local history and the rural landscape along the boundary of Lowndes and Noxubee counties. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its small settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Prairie Grove Cem and Turner Cem. The terrain is drained by several named waterways, including the S Br Magowah Cr and the descriptively named Wet Water Cr, which flow through the agricultural lands of t17n r16e and surrounding townships.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific road names that reflect long-standing families, such as Ash Washington Rd, Nick Hairston Rd, and Marion Moore Rd. The eastern portion of the map includes the community of Walnut Hills, while the southern reaches follow the winding path of Horse Hunters Cr and Broken Pumpkin Cr. The layout of the road network, from W Lindsey Ferry Rd to Tarlton Rd, illustrates the enduring rural structure of this Mississippi prairie region.
