About this map

Crawford and the nearby rail junction at Penns occupy the eastern edge of this landscape, situated where the Black Prairie region meets the timbered bottomlands of the Noxubee River. This 2015 update of the terrain shows a rural community defined by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Sanders Cem, Bethesda Cem, and Crigler Cem, which serve as primary markers for genealogists and local historians.

The landscape is etched by a complex drainage network where Browning Creek and Rocky Bottom Cr flow south toward the Oktibbeha Co and Noxubee Co lines. Notable landmarks such as Edmonds Bridge over the Noxubee River and the winding course of Oktoc Cr illustrate the historical reliance on these waterways for early crossing points. The road network, including names like Jimmy Phillips-Keefer McGee Rd and Old Crawford Rd, reflects the evolution of local transit between the scattered homesteads and the established town centers.
