2015 Map of Macon

About this map

Macon serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, situated where the Noxubee River winds through the East Mississippi landscape. The town's grid is well-defined by historical corridors like Main ST, Jefferson ST, and Washington ST, revealing a concentrated settlement pattern characteristic of Noxubee County's seat. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of tributaries including Hunters Cr, Plum Cr, and the appropriately named Running Water Cr. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial sites, such as the Odd Fellows Cem near the riverbanks and the more remote DeJarnate Cem and Zion Hill Cem. The land is further divided by numerous rural roads, such as Pineywoods RD and Allen Bend RD, which provide access to the outlying agricultural and wooded tracts surrounding Howard Lake.
