1906 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Pearl River forms a winding western boundary for this 1906 survey, separating Hinds and Rankin Counties while defining a landscape of bayous and bends like Wansley Bend. The Gulf and Ship Island RR bisects the terrain, anchoring the central settlement of Florence and the village of Star to the southeast. This corridor shows a well-established network of rural social centers, including the Wesleyanna Church and Steepbank School, reflecting the agrarian community structure of early 20th-century Mississippi.
