About this map

Eupora stands as the central hub of this 1980s landscape, positioned at the junction of the Columbus and Greenville railroad and several local routes. The geography is defined by the transition from the hills around Sand Mountain and Rocky Mountain down toward the bottomlands of the Big Black River and its accompanying Canal. This survey documents a rural society deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the high density of country churches and cemeteries.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks like Jordons Cem and Cooper Cem, as well as the Old Greensboro Cem west of Mile Branch. The map records the infrastructure of the era, from the Eupora Airport and Soogin Landing Strip to the small community at Walthall and the railroad stop at Grady. This documentation provides a clear view of the area's development before modern expansions, preserving the location of local landmarks like South Union Ch and New Ebenezer Ch.
