1963 Map of Gallman

About this map

The Illinois Central railroad serves as the primary corridor through this section of Copiah County, anchoring the community of Gallman. This 1963 field-checked survey reveals a rural landscape defined by numerous country churches and family cemeteries, suggesting a deeply rooted local genealogy. Small settlements and crossroads such as Tillman are interspersed between the drainages of Copiah Creek and Turkey Creek. The presence of several gravel pits indicates the local extractive industry of the era, while Lake Copiah and Camp Wesley Pines highlight the area's recreational and social hubs. From the Wiltshire-King Cem to Damascus Ch, the map provides a precise look at the distribution of community landmarks before the expansion of modern infrastructure in the latter half of the twentieth century.
