1982 Map of Frees Corners

About this map

Arkabutla Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its waters reaching into the Arkabutla State Waterfowl Refuge along the northern banks of the Coldwater River. This 1982 provisional survey captures the rural character of Northern Mississippi, where small communities like Frees Corners and Deans Corner sit atop rolling terrain dissected by numerous watercourses. The drainage patterns of Hurricane Creek and Mussacuna Creek define the local geography, leading toward the reservoir and its developed recreational spots including the Plantation Point Public Use Area. On the eastern edge, the growth of Hernando begins to appear, while specialized agricultural or industrial sites like Robinson Gin reflect the traditional economic footprint of the De Soto Co and Tate Co borderlands.
