1971 Map of Gaston

About this map

The boundary between Sumter Co and Choctaw Co bisects this rural landscape, which was primarily defined by timber and agriculture during the early 1970s. Small communities like Gaston, Derby, and Cotohaga serve as local hubs, anchored by a high concentration of rural houses of worship such as Gaston Valley Ch, Shorts Ch, and St Johns Ch. The drainage patterns of the region are dominated by Kinterbish Creek and its many tributaries, including Polecat Creek and Cane Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain.
