About this map

The Tennessee-Mississippi state line divides this 1950s landscape, where the waters of the newly formed Pickwick Lake meet the rugged hills of the Tishomingo County Game Refuge. The area shows a rural society centered around small country institutions, including the Lambs Chapel School and its nearby Lambs Chapel Cem, as well as Center Point School and Barnes Chapel School. These landmarks, along with many family-named features like Barnes Yankee Charlie Hollow, provide a detailed record of local geography before the mid-century.

Infrastructure of the period is prominent, particularly the water management systems such as the Sevenmile Drainage Canal and the Yellow Creek Drainage Canal. The settlement of Doskie and the Sandy Creek Subdivision mark the limited residential development near the lake's edge, while crossings like Moser Bridge and Sharp Bridge indicate the primary travel routes through this creek-crossed terrain.
