1964 Map of Knobtown

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders south through this corner of Southeast Mississippi, defining a landscape of dense creek networks and timbered bottoms. Settled points like Kittrell and Knobtown serve as anchors in an area largely dominated by the De Soto National Forest Chickasawhay State Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and family landmarks, with Douglas Chapel, Providence Ch, and Mt Olive Ch spaced along the ridge lines above the river valley.
