1987 Map of Crawford West

About this map

Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Noxubee River and its tributaries, including Minnow Creek and Loakfoma Creek, create a complex network of wetlands and reservoirs such as Green Timber Reservoir No 2. This drainage pattern contrasts with the settlement to the northeast, where the town of Crawford sits along the Gulf and Mississippi rail line. The landscape is marked by several small rural congregations and cemeteries, such as Bethesda Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch (Cem), serving as vital markers of local history at the junction of Oktibbeha, Lowndes, and Noxubee counties. In the north, the Gulf and Mississippi railroad corridor passes through Swedenborg, while prominent landmarks like Sam Hill and the B L Moor High Sch orient the central rural district.
