1972 Map of Bogue Chitto

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Bogue Chitto river corridor defines the central geography of this Lincoln County survey, appearing shortly after the 1971 aerial photogrammetric work. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad runs parallel to the river, anchoring established settlements like Norfield and Thayer. This landscape reflects a diverse economic pattern where traditional agriculture meets the industrial footprint of the Mallalieu Oil Field in the northeast and numerous scattered gravel operations. Community life is heavily documented through a dense network of country churches and burial grounds, including Springfield Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Price Cem. Notable landmarks such as the Water Tank in Bogue Chitto and the Substation Old further south provide specific points of reference for local historians. From the heights of Blueberry Hill to the banks of Moaks Creek, the map details a rural Mississippi landscape in a period of steady industrial and infrastructure development.
