1960 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Tombigbee River anchors this mid-century portrait of northeastern Mississippi, where it winds through Lowndes County toward Hairston Bend. The city of Columbus is shown as a significant regional hub, anchored by the State College for Women and served by the St Louis San Francisco and Mobile and Ohio railroads. The map captures a landscape defined by water and aviation, featuring Lake Catherine and Bowlin Lake alongside the Columbus-Lowndes Co Airport and Vaughn Landing Field. In the rural hinterlands, a dense network of country schools and churches like Oak Grove Ch, Plum Grove Sch, and Union Hopewell Ch suggests the era's communal structure. Along the river, the Nashville Ferry remains a documented crossing point, and Camp Pratt sits tucked near the banks, reflecting the area's recreational and community life.
