1971 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Pearl River meanders along the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the border between Copiah and Simpson counties as it flows past the settlement of Georgetown. The early 1970s topography reveals a rural Mississippi interior marked by an intricate network of small streams like Steel Creek and Copiah Creek that cut through the undulating Keys terrain. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor provides a north-south transit spine, connecting the village of Rockport to the wider region.
