1965 Map of Kirkville

About this map

Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across this northeastern Mississippi landscape, with a significant section marked as a Proposed Location as the modern scenic route was being established. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tombigbee River and the convergence of several major waterways, including Donivan Creek, Twentymile Creek, and Mackeys Creek. These river bottoms and creeks shaped the early development of the rural communities found here, such as Kirkville and Marietta.
