1950 Map of Bishop

About this map

Bear Creek meanders across the border of Alabama and Mississippi, defining the rural character of this region during the mid-20th century. The landscape is marked by a series of distinct hollows such as Calhoun Hollow and Gallymore Hollow, which shaped the early settlement patterns of communities like Allsboro, Bishop, and Maud. The presence of the Natchez Trace Parkway running southwest toward Burnstown reflects the historical significance of this transit corridor through Colbert Co.
