1935 Map of Holcut

About this map

Holcut serves as a central hub in this northeast Mississippi landscape, situated along the Illinois Central railroad corridor. Compiled from aerial photographs and field examinations in 1935, the map reveals a rural topography defined by the winding course of Yellow Creek and the many small drainages that feed into it, such as Cripple Deer Creek and Hurricane Creek. The social fabric of the era is evident in the placement of community centers like Lebanon Ch, Cross Roads Ch, and schools including Clausel Hill Sch and Liberty Sch.
