2012 Map of Thaxton

About this map

The town of Thaxton serves as a central hub in this Mississippi landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country roads and local drainage basins. Small rural communities like Hurricane and Esperanza sit to the north, connected by routes such as Hurricane Bnd and White Rd. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the Laodicea Cem stands near the headwaters of Mill Cr, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by Toccopola. The terrain is deeply etched by a system of creeks and branches, including the curiously named Buttermilk Br and the winding Cane Cr. These watercourses dictated the placement of early homesteads and the development of the primary transit corridors that eventually became the modern road network shown here.
