2000 Map of Sturgis

About this map

Sturgis serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the intersection of Oktibbeha, Choctaw, and Winston counties. The map captures a transition from the rolling agricultural lands of the north toward the densely wooded terrain of the Tombigbee National Forest in the south. Several small rural communities like Fulcher and Bugh are documented alongside numerous country churches, including Wake Forest Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems, with Sand Creek and Boughenia Creek flowing toward the Noxubee River in the southwestern corner. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of family-named landmarks like the Crawford-Blackwood Cem and the Tombigbee Lookout, which provides a vantage point over the timbered ridges and the headwaters of Bearfoot Branch.
