1989 Map of Edinburg

About this map

Choctaw Indian Reservation lands dominate the eastern half of this landscape where the Pearl River snakes through the borderlands of Leake and Neshoba counties. The settlement of Edinburg serves as a local hub, featuring the Edinburg High Sch and a network of roads that follow an Old Grade and Old Railroad, tracing the former paths of industry through the river valley. The map is particularly dense with rural religious sites, including Old Canaan Ch, New Harmony Ch, and New Testament Holiness Ch, which reflect the social fabric of these small communities during the late 20th century. Terrain features like Coughlin Mound and the swampy reaches of Palmetto Flats suggest a landscape deeply shaped by the river's hydrology, while numerous family-named branches like Hooper Mill Creek and Sullivan Branch feed into the main waterway.
