1972 Map of Brookhaven

Outside the urban center, the terrain is shaped by the Bogue Chitto and East Bogue Chitto rivers, while the legacy of land division is marked by the Old Ind Treaty Bdy in the northwest. Local history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks like Union Hall Cem, Friendship Ch, and Damascus Ch. This record captures a specific era of development just as a 4 Lane highway began to bypass the traditional center, reflecting the changing transportation priorities of southern Mississippi.
