About this map

The Noxubee River carves a winding path through this corner of Noxubee County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and creek drainages. Small rural settlements like McLeod and Paulette anchor the local road network, while numerous country churches and cemeteries suggest a deeply rooted community structure. Key local landmarks include St Michaels Ch and its accompanying St Michaels Cem, along with New Zion Ch and New Zion Cem further east.

Waterways dominate the local geography, with Tibby Creek, Woodward Creek, and Jordan Creek feeding into the river system. To the south, the Paulette Lookout Tower stands near Prairie Ridge Cem, overlooking a region primarily defined by its natural drainage patterns and agricultural character. Evidence of local industry appears at the Sandpit near the river's edge, reflecting the utility of the alluvial landscape in the early 1970s.
