1960 Map of Caledonia
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Columbus Air Force Base dominates the central landscape of this 1960 survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in Lowndes County during the Cold War. The surrounding territory is defined by the winding courses of the Tombigbee River and the Buttahatchie River, creating a complex network of sloughs and creeks like Luxapalila Creek and Running Slough Branch. A high concentration of rural institutions points to a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Border Springs Ch and Military Chapel, alongside schools like Anderson Grove Sch and Hardy Bluff Sch.
