1963 Map of Dentville

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Bayou Pierre carves a winding path through the center of this Mississippi landscape, defining the local topography and drainage patterns. Small rural communities like Dentville and Hoodtown are linked by a network of unimproved and light-duty roads, reflecting the era's agrarian layout. The region is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, including a high density of rural houses of worship such as New Mt Zion Ch, Pike Bluff Ch, and Fair View Ch. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Green Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, are scattered across the terrain near water sources like Sand Creek and Boggy Bayou. The presence of several Gravel Pits suggests the localized extraction of natural resources as a minor industry alongside the established farming settlements of the early 1960s.
