1972 Map of Brookhaven
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The city of Brookhaven serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing a period of significant regional infrastructure alongside long-established landmarks. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad and several major roadways bisect the landscape, while the Bogue Chitto and its various forks, including the West Bogue Chitto and East Bogue Chitto, dictate the area's natural drainage. The map provides a detailed view of the town's social fabric, from the historic grounds of Whitworth College to the local Alexander High Sch. Traces of the region's earlier history are preserved in labels like the Old Ind Treaty Bdy and the Old Railroad Grade north of Smith Lake. Outlying settlements like Hartman and Carlos are depicted near active industrial sites, including numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits, illustrating the local extractive economy of the era.
