1983 Map of Janice

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this section of Perry County, where the winding course of Black Creek carves through the timberland. The map provides a detailed look at the rural landscape in the early 1980s, centered on the small settlement of Janice. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as St John Ch and Oak Grove Ch, while the Mixon Cem offers a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in the area. The drainage pattern is exceptionally intricate, with numerous named waterways like Shut Eye Creek, Blue Goose Bay, and the swampy Howard Reed Brake defining the topography. Transportation is primarily limited to the Brooklyn Mc Lain Road and forest routes, including those leading to Moodys Landing on the creek bank.
