1972 Map of Ackerman

About this map

Ackerman serves as a central hub in this Mississippi landscape during the early 1970s, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad bisects the terrain from northeast to southwest. The map documents a rural network of small communities and family landmarks, including Chester to the northwest and Fentress near the Yockanookany River. The southeastern quadrant is defined by the managed woodlands of the Tombigbee National Forest, surrounding the recreational waters of Choctaw Lake and the Noxubee River headwaters.
