1962 Map of Bude

About this map

Meadville and Bude serve as the central hubs of this early 1960s survey, situated along the Central Mississippi River railroad line. The landscape is dominated by the dense timberlands of the Homochitto National Forest, which is crisscrossed by a complex network of waterways including the Homochitto River and its many tributaries like Caston Creek and Middle Fork Mississippi River. Local industry is clearly defined by the sprawling Bude Oil Field and West Bude Oil Field, alongside numerous active Gravel Pits that punctuate the terrain.
