About this map

The community of Longview serves as a central hub in this mid-1960s survey of Oktibbeha County, situated along the Illinois Central railroad line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Trim Cane Creek and the curiously named Talking Warrior Creek. To the north, the small settlement of Adaton sits near a Roadside Park, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.

Rural life is anchored by numerous local landmarks that offer significant value for genealogical research. A series of country churches, such as Bethel Ch, Union Hill Ch, and New Hope Ch, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, often accompanied by small family or community cemeteries. The presence of a Lookout Tower near the railroad tracks and the specific naming of Chinchahoma provide evidence of the area's mid-century infrastructure and local identity before modern expansion changed the rural character.
