About this map

Crawford serves as the primary hub in this corner of Lowndes County, where a dense concentration of cemeteries and rural churches reveals a landscape deeply rooted in family lineage and congregational history. The map documents numerous burial sites including the Hairston Family Cem, Turner Cem, Ledbetter Cem, and the Wilkins Cem, suggesting long-standing agricultural estates and small community nodes. Religious life is anchored by institutions like the Saint James Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Bethel Presbyterian Church Cem.

The terrain is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several drainage systems, notably S Br Magowah Cr and Broken Pumpkin Cr. To the north, the elevation rises slightly toward the Walnut Hills, while the southern portion of the sheet crosses the Lowndes Co Noxubee Co line. This 2020 record preserves the alignment of traditional routes like W Lindsey Ferry Rd and Ash Washington Rd, which have historically connected these isolated homesteads and cemeteries.
