1964 Map of Buckatunna

About this map

The Chickasawhay River snakes through the heart of Wayne County, defining a landscape where river bends and rail lines dictated early Mississippi settlement patterns. In the mid-1960s, the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for local communities, linking Winchester, Robinsons Junction, and the central hub of Buckatunna. This area is particularly rich in rural landmarks, including the Buckatunna Sch and a series of neighborhood spiritual centers such as Philadelphia Ch and Sweet Pilgrim Ch.
