About this map

The Pearl River anchors this 1970s view of southern Mississippi, where the industrial and civic center of Columbia serves as the regional hub. The town's infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Courthouse, Armory, and multiple schools including the Jr High Sch and High Sch. North of the city, the landscape is characterized by a significant concentration of Gravel Pits interspersed among the drainage basins of Holiday Creek, Buckhorn Creek, and Jones Creek.

Rural life is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, such as Harpers and Fortenberry, alongside spiritual centers like Good Hope Ch and Emmanuel Ch. The presence of the Columbia Training School and the Columbia Marion County Airport indicates the area's institutional and transit development. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Stringer Cem and Woodlawn Cem, which dot the terrain alongside the Gulf Central Illinois railroad line.
