About this map

Looxahoma sits near the northern boundary of this North Mississippi landscape, where the terrain is marked by a network of rural churches and small aviation facilities. The community is anchored by Looxahoma Ch and the nearby Looxahoma Cem, while the southern reaches feature the Glenville Lookout Tower near the Tate and Panola County line. The map reveals a distinct pattern of small private airfields, including the Taylor Landing Strip and Ladd Landing Strip, suggesting a reliance on light aircraft for local transportation or agricultural use in the early 1980s.

Waterways like Senatobia Creek and Nelson Creek drain the undulating hills, which are dotted with numerous historic congregations such as New Zion Ch, Liberty Hill Ch, and Beulah Ch. This survey, compiled from 1977 photography, documents the late-century rural character of the region before significant modern development altered the land use patterns around Barr and the southern Panola County border.
