1965 Map of Fulton

About this map

Tombigbee River meanders through the heart of this Itawamba County landscape, joined by its tributaries Twentymile Creek and Mantachie Creek. The town of Fulton serves as the primary hub, showing significant residential growth and local infrastructure including the Fulton-Itawamba Landing Field and a local Golf Course. A dense network of rural churches and family cemeteries like Warrens Chapel Cem and Walton Cem suggests a deeply rooted community structure, while the presence of an Indian Mound south of town points to much earlier inhabitants of the river valley. The landscape is further defined by its water features, from the large Lake Itawamba to the smaller Queen Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region before significant modern changes. The map's purple revisions from the late 1970s highlight the expansion of the Trailer Park and new residential developments near Fulton Ch.
