Noxubee County, Mississippi

Down in east Mississippi, right on the Alabama line, sits Noxubee County. It’s mostly rural, with more cows than people some days.
Macon’s the county seat, a small town with a big courthouse. The name Noxubee comes from a Choctaw word meaning “stinking water”. Don’t worry, it smells just fine these days.
If you’re into nature, you’re in luck. The Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge is a big draw, with its cypress swamps and alligators. Birdwatchers especially love it here.
