1980 Map of Brownsville

About this map

The boundary between Madison Co and Hinds Co cuts through this rural landscape north of the capital, centered on the community of Brownsville. This 1980 record illustrates a region defined by scattered churches and cemeteries that anchor the local geography. Significant landmarks include the Hill of Zion Ch situated near the distinctive Hill of Zion, and the Brownsville Lookout Tower standing as a sentinel over the wooded terrain. To the northwest, Orangeville sits near White Lake, while the eastern portion of the map is marked by the meandering path of Spring Creek and several gravel pits. The presence of named roads like Lorance Rd and Northside Drive shows the maturing local infrastructure serving small settlements and family-named cemeteries such as Abernathy Cem and Slay Cem.
