1935 Map of Feenyville

About this map

Star City serves as the central hub of this 1930s landscape, where early road networks like State Hwy No 13 and the Military Road intersect. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small communities and local institutions, featuring numerous schools such as Pine Hill Sch and Midway Sch, and churches including Holly Springs Ch. To the east, the meandering path of Bayou Bartholomew dictates the geography, creating a distinct alluvial border near Furth and Todd. Ancient Indian Mounds near Dry Branch point to a much deeper history of habitation in this part of Lincoln County. The mapping process itself was transitioning during this era, noted by the use of aerial photography to define the woodland limits in areas outside the contoured alluvial valley.
