1973 Map of Paulette

About this map

The Noxubee River carves a winding path across this East Mississippi landscape, marking the boundary between the northern and southern halves of the quadrangle. In the early 1970s, this rural area remained dotted with small crossroads settlements like Paulette and Calyx, the latter of which is anchored by Woodlawn Cem. The southern reach of the survey is defined by the Noxubee Co Kemper Co line, where the terrain transitions into the drainage basins of Wahalak Creek and Shy Hammock Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of rural landmarks, particularly in the vicinity of Binnsville, where both Binnsville Cem and nearby Old Wahalak Cem provide clues to early family burial sites. The presence of Mt Ararat Ch and Providence Ch further illustrates the importance of small community centers in this timbered river-bottom region.
