1982 Map of Hernando

About this map

Hernando serves as the focal point of this Mississippi landscape, showing a structured grid of streets and development during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The town's proximity to major transit corridors is evident, with the surrounding countryside defined by a network of drainage systems feeding south toward the northern reaches of Arkabutla Lake. Small clusters of activity are visible at Love and Bright, providing a look at the rural settlement patterns before further suburban expansion reached this part of DeSoto County. Numerous family-named and descriptive waterways, such as Short Fork Creek and Bean Patch Creek, crisscross the terrain, reflecting the agricultural and natural drainage history of the region. The map also delineates the boundary between De Soto Co and Tate Co, marking the transition between these two northern Mississippi jurisdictions.
