1974 Map of Dancy

About this map

The Mississippi-Alabama state line divides this 1970s landscape, where the Tombigbee River meanders along the eastern edge of Pickens Co. The settlement pattern is defined by the St Louis-San Francisco railroad, which anchors the communities of Cochrane and Dancy. Numerous rural landmarks suggest a long-established community structure, including Rock Hill Ch and Hebron Ch, along with the Cluster Cem. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Bogue Chitto and Fennache Creek, which flow through the western wetlands. This survey captures a specific moment in the rural South, showing the proximity of the Noxubee-Pickens county boundary and the transition from riverine lowlands to upland clusters like Dinsmore and Woodwards.
