1965 Map of Hattiesburg SW

About this map

The Mississippi Central railroad cuts through the heart of the Pine Belt on this mid-century survey, linking the small community of Clyde with Wardwell as it travels toward Hattiesburg. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of Black Creek, where the terrain transitions from timberland and rural homesteads to the expanding suburban edge of the city. Notable for its family-named landmarks and rural gathering places, the area includes historical nodes like Oak Grove and several local congregations such as Oral Ch and Bellevue Ch.
