1973 Map of Booneville

About this map

Booneville serves as the focal point of this Prentiss County survey, showing the city's mid-century footprint centered on the Courthouse and City Hall. The municipal landscape is anchored by educational and healthcare institutions, including Northeast Mississippi Jr College, the Hospital, and several schools like Anderson High Sch. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the heart of the region, facilitating a connection between the town center and outlying communities such as Thrasher and Gaston. The surrounding terrain is a network of small watercourses including Hornolucka Creek and the Tuscumbia River. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many rural religious sites and burial grounds, from the Oaklawn Memorial Park to smaller family-named landmarks like Stutts Chapel and Oak Hill Ch.
