About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through the heart of Itawamba County in this mid-1960s survey, defining a landscape of wetlands and winding tributaries like Twentymile Creek and Mantachie Creek. The town of Fulton serves as the primary hub, situated near the river and the Mississippian railroad line. Evidence of much earlier habitation is preserved at the Indian Mound located south of Queen Lake, providing a distinct archaeological layer to the region's history.

Rural life is marked by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, including Stephens Ch, Warrens Chapel, and Liberty Ch. Genealogists will find several notable cemeteries such as Files Cem, Walton Cem, and the Mt Vernon Ch Cem. The survey captures the transition between the small community of Mantachie and the more developed municipal infrastructure of Fulton, including the Sewage Disposal plant and Gaging Sta along the river banks.
