About this map

The Columbus and Greenville railroad bisects this Montgomery County landscape, anchoring the town of Kilmichael and the settlement of Sibleyton. This mid-century survey documents a rural environment defined by the winding course of the Big Black River and its accompanying Big Black River Canal, which serves as a major drainage artery through the center of the sheet.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Flowers Cem, Kindred Cem, and Griffin Cem. The map also captures the local educational and social hubs of the era, such as the Vocational High Sch in Kilmichael and the Nation Community Center near the Nations Poplar Creek Ch. From the sandpits near the town center to the remote crossings of Little Mulberry Creek, the map provides a clear picture of Mississippi's hill country before modern interstate developments.
