About this map

Lexington serves as the southern anchor of this Mississippi landscape, which is defined by a dense network of drainages including Fannegusha Creek and its many tributaries. The area's social fabric is visible through its dispersed rural settlements and many community landmarks, such as Whites and Lebanon. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pinkston Cem, Wanlaw Cem, and Hodges Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research.

Religious life was central to the region's character, as evidenced by churches like Sweet Canaan Ch, Beulah Grove Ch, and Mt Olive Ch. Beyond agriculture, the map documents specialized land uses including the C A Moore Airfield, a Substation, and several gravel pits. The presence of a major Pipeline and varied watercourses like Bophumpa Creek and Long Creek illustrates how the physical environment and industrial infrastructure shaped development in Holmes County during the early 1980s.
