1964 Map of Knobtown

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders south through the pine-laden corridor of Wayne Co and Greene Co, its winding path defining the landscape as it was documented in the mid-1960s. This survey, with updates from the early 1980s, reveals a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks like Kittrell and Knobtown. The presence of numerous remote cemeteries and churches, such as Slay Cem and Douglas Chapel, provides a roadmap for genealogists seeking to pin down family homesteads near the De Soto National Forest. The local economy of this era is etched into the terrain through various resource extraction sites, including a Tower and several Gravel Pits and Sandpits that dot the wooded elevations. These features, along with tributaries like Big Creek and Horse Creek, illustrate a quiet period of Mississippi history before significant modernization changed the rural character of the river valley.
