About this map

Small country churches and a winding network of creek branches define this rural Lamar County landscape in the late 1960s. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade north of Driven Branch suggests a history of timbering or localized transport that had already transitioned by the time of this survey. Notable local landmarks include the Lamar Lookout Tower and a series of rural spiritual centers such as Greenville Ch, Bay Creek Ch, and Caney Ch.

The terrain is intricately drained by numerous named water bodies, including Little Black Creek, Lower Little Creek, and Gall Berry Brake Creek. Several Gravel Pits in the southwest corner near Caney Branch indicate local extractive industry, while the naming of distinctive wetlands like Bondity Ponds Branch and Beaver Pond Branch points to the low-lying, hydrologically diverse nature of this Mississippi timber country.
