About this map

Sturgis serves as the central hub of this Mississippi landscape, situated at the intersection of MS Highway 12 W and Louisville Rd. The area is defined by its deep connectivity to the Tombigbee National Forest, which blankets the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local families, the map is a dense record of early burial sites, including Old Sturgis Cem, Wake Forest Cem, and the more remote Blackwood Cem near the Choctaw and Winston county lines.

Drainage patterns are heavily influenced by the Noxubee River and Sand Cr, which wind through a landscape dotted with small named settlements like Fulcher and Noxubee Hills. The southern reaches show the intricate topography of the national forest, where Beaver Pond and Bearfoot Br feed into the river system. This map provides a detailed look at the rural road network and township-and-range divisions that have historically organized this timber and farming region.
