1987 Map of Crawford East

About this map

The town of Crawford serves as the primary hub of this 1980s landscape, situated along the Gulf Mobile and Mississippi railroad line. The surrounding rural terrain across the Lowndes and Noxubee county line is characterized by a dense network of family-named landmarks and country churches, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural community of the era. Significant watercourses like South Branch Magowah Creek and James Creek drain the area, while the road network preserves historical memory through names like Lindsey Ferry Road. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by several religious and burial sites, including St James Ch, Prairie Grove Ch, and Ledbetter Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the drainage basin of Broken Pumpkin Creek, crisscrossed by modern infrastructure such as large pipelines and the north-south corridor of Seitz Road.
