1958 Map of Carnes

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in southern Mississippi, where the piney woods are dissected by an intricate drainage system including Wolf Creek, Juniper Creek, and Turkey Creek. The map documents a rural transition as former educational centers like Bird Line Sch (Abandoned) and Thomas Sch (Abandoned) gave way to newer facilities such as Progress Sch. Evidence of the region's timber and rail history remains visible through an Old Railroad Grade and the presence of the Bilbo Lookout Tower and Lee Lookout Tower, which monitored the timberlands from high points like Pistol Ridge. Family heritage is deeply rooted here, marked by numerous rural sanctuaries and burial grounds such as Hickory Grove Ch, Sandhill Ch, and Daughdrill Cem. Small settlements like Hillsdale and Carnes serve as focal points in an area defined by its brakes and prongs, such as Bee Tree Brake and Near Prong.
