1968 Map of Johns

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The community of Johns serves as a focal point for this rural landscape in central Mississippi, characterized by a network of creek drainages and small-scale agriculture. This 1968 survey, photorevised in 1975, documents the area just as local infrastructure began to modernize, evidenced by the inclusion of the Shiloh Lookout Tower and multiple church communities that anchored the social life of the region. Scattered throughout the hills are landmarks of local significance, such as the Indian Mound Hill and several small rural cemeteries, including Johns Cem. The drainage patterns of Dabbs Creek, Campbell Creek, and Clear Creek define the topography, while small impoundments like Corr-Williams Lake and Diamond D Lake show the adaptation of the land for water management. The presence of a Gravel Pit and various other pits suggests localized resource extraction alongside the primary timber and farming activities of the era.
