1972 Map of Double Springs

About this map

Double Springs and its namesake Double Springs Ch sit at the center of this rural landscape where the border of Choctaw and Oktibbeha counties meets. The area is defined by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted community structure of the early 1970s. From the Maben Lookout Tower in the north to the Pleasant Ridge Ch in the south, the terrain is carved by numerous waterways including Lick Creek, Self Creek, and Trim Cane Creek. Local industry and land use are evidenced by a Gas Well near the center of the quadrangle and a Sandpit to the west, while a prominent Pipeline cuts diagonally across the southern half of the map. This survey provides a clear view of the agricultural and religious life in the region before modern development altered these traditional boundaries.
