K. Carbon Explains Why West Memphis Is Not Memphis: “You In a Whole New State”

Buxton, Panola County: Railroads, Gravel Pits, and a Forgotten Mississippi Community

Appalachian Community Histories – Buxton, Panola County: Railroads, Gravel Pits, and a Forgotten Mississippi Community. In the northwestern corner of Panola County, Mississippi, near the boundary of the Mississippi Delta and the wooded uplands that rise above it, lies the history of a small community called Buxton. Unlike the larger towns of Batesville, Sardis, and Crenshaw, Buxton never developed into a major commercial center, and much of its past survives not in traditional town histories but in railroad documents, geological surveys, court proceedings, and historical maps. Those scattered records reveal a community whose importance was closely tied to the railroad and the gravel deposits beneath the surrounding countryside.
