About this map

Noxubee River bottomlands dominate this rural Noxubee County landscape, where the river and its numerous tributaries like Shotbag Cr and Yellow Cr define the drainage patterns of the region. The settlement of Lynn Creek serves as a local focal point, supported by a network of family and community-named roads such as Edmonds Bridge Rd and Macon-Lynn Creek Rd. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including White Cem, Carpenter Cem, and Ruhama Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the larger flow of Hashuqua Creek to the smaller Wet Water Cr and the localized Carpenters Lake. Navigation across the wetlands is evidenced by crossings such as Cranford Bridge, while social centers are marked by landmarks like Soule Chapel. The map captures the agricultural and timber-oriented layout of the land, shaped by the serpentine path of the river systems.
