1950 Map of Burnsville

About this map

Burnsville serves as the central hub of this Mississippi landscape, situated at the intersection of the Southern railroad and the Lee Highway. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage canals and branches, including the Yellow Creek Canal and Coke Drainage Canal, which illustrate the region's managed waterways. To the south and east, the massive Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway cuts a broad path through the hills, accompanied by a significant Spoil Area that indicates the scale of this engineering feat.
