1966 Map of Amory SW

About this map

The Tombigbee River winds along the western edge of this Monroe County landscape, defining a terrain of river bottomlands and rising eastern uplands. During the mid-1960s, this area supported a mix of rural industry and essential infrastructure, from the Monroe County Airport and its Beacon in the northwest to the St Louis-San Francisco railroad line cutting through Lackey. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and community landmarks, including the County Home and its associated County Home Cem. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing active Gravel Pits and a Clay Pit alongside agricultural features like the Fish Hatchery and Robertson Landing Strip. Named water bodies such as Tadpole Creek, Nichols Creek, and Broyles Creek drain the hills, where small rural congregations gathered at Athens Ch and Fig Hill Ch.
