1966 Map of Evergreen

About this map

Boguefala Creek carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, separating the small communities of Richmond and Evergreen. In the northwest, Tombigbee State Park surrounds the waters of Lake Wilhelmina, where the park headquarters is established. The map reveals a high density of rural social centers, including Dorsey Sch, Wesley Chapel Cem, and Shiloh Ch, illustrating the distributed nature of early Lee County society. Industry is represented by scattered sandpits near Pleasant Hill, while the county line between Lee and Itawamba Counties runs north-to-south along the eastern half of the survey. Numerous family-named cemeteries such as Gregory Cem, Hussey Cem, and Whiteside Cem are documented alongside creek systems like Smith Creek and Carmichael Creek.
