About this map

Mashulaville serves as the primary settlement in this portion of rural Noxubee County, surrounded by a network of rural churches and family cemeteries that define the social geography of the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of Hashuqua Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Dry Creek, which feed toward the Noxubee R in the northeast.

Evidence of former transportation and industry remains visible through the Old RR Grade and Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain, indicating the area's historical reliance on rail for timber or agriculture. Community life centers on landmarks like the Mashulaville Community Center and scattered congregations such as Mt Olive Ch, New Salem Ch, and Macedonia. The presence of the Noxubee Lookout Tower atop a local high point highlights the importance of forestry oversight in this heavily wooded Mississippi interior.
