About this map

The city of Aberdeen serves as a focal point for this survey, revealing the complex infrastructure of a Mississippi river town during the late 20th century. The landscape is defined by the massive engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the Aberdeen Lock and Dam, which redirected the original flow of the Tombigbee River. Extensive energy development is evident through the surrounding Treas Lake Gas Field and Aberdeen Gas Field, indicating the region's industrial reliance on subsurface resources alongside its maritime commerce.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Odd Fellows Cemetery and Shivers High Sch, while aviation activity is centered at Stinson Field. Traces of older transport networks appear in the Old RR Grade north of East Aberdeen. From the residential streets of Oak Lawn Park to the outlying community of Binford, the map documents a transition from established urban centers to more rural reaches along James Creek and Mattubby Creek.
