1972 Map of Auburn

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Amite River East Fork and the Tangipahoa River define the undulating landscape of this border region between Amite, Lincoln, and Pike Counties in the early 1970s. The settlement of Auburn serves as a local hub, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family-named landmarks like Terrell Cem, Wilson Cem, and Whittington Cem that offer valuable clues for genealogists. The map captures an era of active extraction, with extensive Oil Wells peppered throughout the Smithdale Oil Field and Mc Comb Oil Field. Local life centers around small rural congregations, including Johnston Chapel, Pleasant Grove Ch, and the Chisholm Mission. This survey reflects a classic Mississippi rural economy where traditional river drainages like Adam Creek and McGehee Creek coexist with specialized modern operations such as the Fish Farms located near the Tangipahoa.
