2020 Map of McLeod

About this map

McLeod serves as the focal point of this Noxubee County landscape, where the agricultural grid of eastern Mississippi is defined by a complex network of waterways. The Noxubee River meanders across the southern portion of the map, joined by numerous tributaries including Ash Cr, Jordan Cr, and Woodward Cr. This watery geography is overlaid with a strictly surveyed section line system, creating a patchwork of land divisions visible in the road network. Local family names and community foundations are preserved through cemetery sites such as McLeod Cem, Zion Hill Cem, and Ridge Cem. The placement of these burial grounds and the winding paths of rural routes like Noxcedar Church Rd and Paulette Rd suggest long-standing patterns of movement and settlement between the larger creek drainage areas of Tibbee Cr and the river bottoms.
