About this map

Sturgis serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at a junction of roads and rail lines where the Old Sturgis Cem and Sturgis Cem mark the community's long-standing presence. The surrounding Oktibbeha County terrain is defined by a dense network of creeks, including Sand Cr, Red Bank Cr, and Bogue Fallah, which drain toward the Noxubee River in the southwest.

Evidence of the region's forest management and rural infrastructure is seen at the Tombigbee Lookout Tower and via various fire tower access roads like Shaw Spring Tower Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous secluded burial sites such as Bethel Cem, Blackwood Cem, and Wake Forest Cem, often located at the end of winding routes like Bethel Rd E or Refuge Rd. The small settlements of Fulcher and Bugh anchor the western and eastern reaches of the sheet, respectively.
