1972 Map of Double Springs

About this map

The borderlands between Choctaw Co and Oktibbeha Co are defined by a network of rural congregations and small family-named landmarks. The settlement of Double Springs stands near the northern edge, supported by Double Springs Ch and the Maben Lookout Tower further north. This agricultural landscape is etched with complex drainage systems, including the engineered Big Bywy Ditch and natural waterways like Trim Cane Creek and Lick Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in religious and burial sites, documenting local centers of community such as Old Self Creek Ch, Mt Olive Cem, and McMinn Cem. The terrain reflects a mix of small-scale industry and tradition, from a Sandpit and a Gas Well to the numerous country churches like Pleasant Ridge Ch and Bethlehem Ch that dot the countryside.
