1972 Map of Jumpertown

About this map

The Tippah Hills dominate the western landscape of this Northeast Mississippi survey, marking the rugged divide between Tippah and Prentiss counties. The settlement of Jumpertown serves as a central hub, characterized by a concentration of community institutions including Jumpertown Ch, Jumpertown Cem, and the Prentiss Lookout Tower. To the south, Lake Mohawk and Cox Lake punctuate the wooded terrain, while the Hatchie River flows through the northwest corner. The distribution of rural churches such as Morton Chapel Cem, Pauls Chapel, and Christ Ch reflects the established social geography of the early 1970s. Industrial and infrastructure markers like the Sandpit and a prominent Pipeline indicate the local economic activity during this period, alongside the small communities of Pisgah and Blackland.
