1972 Map of Bovina

About this map

The winding Big Black River serves as the prominent natural boundary between Warren and Hinds Counties, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and bottomlands. Significant water bodies such as Horseshoe Lake, Gin Lake, and Tent Lake mark the former path of the river, while Fourteenmile Creek and Belches Bayou drain the eastern lowlands. This era of the early 1970s shows a rural landscape anchored by small community centers and country churches, including Mt Hebron Ch, Morning Star Ch, and Bethlehem Ch.
