1987 Map of Pheba

About this map

Pheba serves as the central hub of this Mississippi landscape, situated where the Columbus and Greenville railroad crosses the agricultural plains of Clay and Oktibbeha counties. The settlement pattern is defined by rural congregations and family burial grounds, such as Pearsons Chapel Cem and Johnson Creek Ch, which anchored the local community in the late 20th century. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Oktibbeha County Lake, featuring a Boat Ramp, a Picnic Area, and a Spillway that regulates the flow of Biba Wila Creek. The terrain is intricately drained by numerous waterways including Sun Creek and Double Cabin Creek, highlighting a landscape that remained largely rural and water-dependent decades after its initial mid-century survey.
