1989 Map of Conway

About this map

The Choctaw Indian Reservation occupies a significant portion of this landscape in central Mississippi, situated just north of the county seat of Carthage. The terrain is defined by the Government Hills and an intricate drainage system including Pellaphalia Creek, Shiola Creek, and Shoui Koli Creek. Small rural communities such as Conway and Redwater serve as focal points for local navigation, each anchored by traditional neighborhood landmarks like Center Hill Ch and Zion Hill Ch. The presence of the Leake County Airport south of the reservation lands indicates the area's mid-to-late 20th-century modernization, even as the rural character remains intact. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific identifiers, from the isolated Scott Cem in Hopoca to the numerous small churches like Bethel Ch and Solid Rock Ch that dot the wooded hillsides.
