1963 Map of Dentville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices vertically through this rural landscape on the border of Claiborne and Copiah Counties, marking a significant historical line of demarcation. In the early 1960s, this area remained dominated by dense woodland and winding watercourses, most notably Bayou Pierre and its tributaries like Bell Branch. The settlement pattern is sparse, defined primarily by small family and community hubs like Meadows Store and a network of country churches including Chapel Hill Church and St Phillip Church. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, featuring named locations such as Nelson Cem, Grant Cem, and Hulbert Cem. The landscape also reflects local industry through several Gravel Pits concentrated near the river bends, while the intricate network of secondary roads and field lines connects these isolated communities and farmsteads.
