1964 Map of Knobtown

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders sharply through this mid-century landscape of the Piney Woods, forming the primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Horse Creek and Davis Creek. Most of the terrain is defined by the De Soto National Forest Boundary, where the topography is dotted with family and community landmarks vital to local genealogy. Several country churches and their associated grounds, including Douglas Chapel and the Pine Grove Cemetery, serve as anchors for rural life near the boundary of Wayne and Greene counties. The map captures an era of local industry focused on the land's natural resources, evidenced by multiple gravel pits and sandpits situated near Kittrell and the small settlement of Knobtown in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
