About this map

The Noxubee River meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the historical borderlands where Pickens and Sumter Counties meet at the Mississippi-Alabama state line. The settlement of Panola serves as a local hub, situated along the St Louis-San Francisco railway which cuts diagonally across the terrain. This rural topography is defined by its watercourses, including Jones Creek and Caney Creek, which feed into the primary river system near Campbells Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local landmarks, such as Mt Tabor Ch Cem and Green Chapel Cem. The map reveals a community structured around small rural churches, including St Marys Ch and Galilee Ch, while industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pit locations near the railroad. In the southern portion, the Corporate Boundary of Geiger is visible, alongside a remote Landing Strip near Fair Oaks.
