About this map

Foxworth and the rural communities of Hamage and Sumbax anchor this landscape along the border of Marion and Walthall Counties. During the early 1970s, the region was defined by a mix of natural waterways and industrious extraction, with numerous Gravel Pits and Gas Wells scattered across the creek-fed terrain. The Fernwood Columbia and Gulf railroad cuts diagonally through the center, providing a transportation corridor for the local economy.

Social and spiritual life is centered on several country congregations and schools, including Little Rock Ch and Kokomo Sch. Genealogists may find value in the detailed placement of family-related landmarks such as Lott Memorial Cem and Turnage Chapel Cem. The drainage patterns of Richland Creek, Silver Creek, and Tenmile Creek illustrate the physical geography that dictated early settlement patterns and road placement in this part of Mississippi.
