About this map

Gallman serves as the primary rail-side hub for this portion of Copiah County in the early 1960s, situated along the Illinois Central railroad. The landscape is heavily defined by its drainage network, with Turkey Creek and Long Creek cutting through the terrain towards Bayou Pierre in the southwest. A notable localized development is Lake Copiah, which provides a focal point for recreation and community activity, evidenced by the nearby Camp Wesley Pines.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous rural houses of worship such as New Pisgah Ch, Spring Ridge Ch, and Zion Hill Ch. The map also meticulously records local resting places like the Alford Cem and Wiltshire-King Cem, alongside smaller place names like Tillman and Deaton City. The presence of a Gravel Pit and infrastructure like the Radio Tower (WMDC) illustrates the local economy and communications during this era.
