Noxubee County, Mississippi

Noxubee Location Map 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.
