1964 Map of Goodman

About this map

Goodman and Pickens anchor this 1964 survey of the central Mississippi landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce and movement. The campus of Holmes Jr College sits prominently on the eastern edge of Goodman, reflecting the town's role as an educational hub. To the south, the meandering course of the Big Black River forms a significant natural boundary, separating Holmes Co, Attala Co, Yazoo Co, and Madison Co. This riverine environment is defined by low-lying oxbows and tributaries like Seneasha Creek and Tacketts Creek. Rural life is evidenced by a network of local landmarks, including St Marys Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and the isolated Presley Landing Strip, providing a clear view of the area's mid-century layout before modern infrastructure changes.
