1988 Map of Crosby

About this map

Crosby and Rosetta sit along a corridor defined by the legacy of the Railroad and Old Railroad Grade in this corner of southwestern Mississippi. The landscape is heavily shaped by the Homochitto National Forest, which covers much of the central and southern portions of the map. The Homochitto River winds through the terrain, joined by numerous tributaries like Foster Creek and Zeigler Creek. Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks such as Mr Nebo Ch near Mt Nebo Lake, and family-named burial grounds like Berryhill Cem and Lusk Cem. The region also reflects industrial activity with several Oil Wells and Drill Holes mapped throughout the wooded hills. Aviation and forest management are represented by the Gloster Municipal Airport and the Stephenson Lookout, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of the late 1980s.
