1988 Map of Cranfield

About this map

The rolling hills of eastern Adams County are defined by a complex network of waterways, including Coles Creek and Whitens Bayou, which feed into the Natchez State Park. This 1988 revision illustrates the landscape just before the turn of the 21st century, showing the transition from the forested reaches of the Homochitto National Forest in the south to the active oil and gas fields that dot the central region. The area's social fabric is evidenced by a dense concentration of rural churches and family-named cemeteries.
