About this map

The Noxubee River meanders across the border of Mississippi and Alabama, defining a landscape where rural life and river geography intersect. The waterway creates several distinct features, including Noxubee Island and the descriptive The Cutt Off, while larger water bodies like Sumter Lake Number Four and Campbells Lake are found in the lowlands. Settlements are sparsely distributed, anchored by the community of Cooksville in the northwest and Panola to the east.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, such as Cooksville Cem, Watts Cem, and Pleasant Grove Cem. The agricultural nature of the region is further evidenced by private airstrips like the Fairview Farms Airport and Henley Ranch Airport. Dozens of smaller tributaries, including Woodward Creek and Rogers Cr, drain the terrain into the river valley, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that historically dictated land use in Noxubee and Sumter Counties.
