1970 Map of Kokomo

About this map

Magees Creek winds through the rural borderlands of Marion and Walthall counties, defining a landscape shaped by small timber-and-farm settlements. In the early 1970s, the area around Kokomo and Knoxo shows a transition toward energy extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain. These industrial additions contrast with the established network of country churches like New Bethel Ch and China Grove Ch, which served as the social anchors for this Mississippi backcountry.
