2020 Map of Paulette

About this map

The Noxubee River winds through this rural landscape at the border of Noxubee and Kemper counties, defining a region characterized by numerous tributary streams and small, dispersed settlements. Small communities like Calyx, Millington, and Paulette are connected by a network of local roads such as Paulette Rd and Binnsville Rd. The presence of several historic burial sites, including Old Wahalak Cem and Binnsville Cem, provides a map of early family settlement patterns near the banks of Wahalak Cr and Shuqualak Cr. This survey documents the modern layout of these traditional agricultural and timber lands, showing the path of Old 45 as it traverses the western portion of the quadrangle. Researchers can trace the enduring geography of the Old Wahalak area, where the terrain is heavily influenced by the meandering Shy Hammock Cr and Hatchet Cr drainage systems.
