About this map

Longview and Adaton serve as the primary hubs in this mid-1960s Mississippi landscape, where small rural communities are defined by their proximity to local houses of worship and natural drainage systems. The Illinois Central railroad cuts diagonally through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing through the heart of Longview and providing a vital transport corridor across a terrain dominated by the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.

Several small churches, including Bethel Ch, Union Hill Ch, and New Hope Ch, are scattered throughout the region, often accompanied by local cemeteries like Josey Creek Cem. The hydrological network is particularly intricate here, featuring several uniquely named watercourses such as Talking Warrior Creek, Biba Wila Creek, and Chinchahoma Creek, which converge to shape the bottomlands and wooded hills of Oktibbeha County.
