1972 Map of Houston West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Yalobusha River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Fourmile Creek and Mud Creek, define the rural landscape of Chickasaw County as it appeared in the early 1970s. The western outskirts of Houston serve as the primary hub, where the Houston Municipal Airport and Radio Towers (WCPC) stand alongside the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. This line, a critical artery for the regional economy, parallels several creeks and serves the local agriculture and timber interests of the era.
