About this map

Kosciusko serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing a well-developed municipal center defined by its education and transportation infrastructure. The town layout includes several dedicated school sites like Northside Sch, Westside Sch, and a prominent College campus, reflecting the local importance of education during this era. The Illinois Central railroad and the Natchez Trace Parkway converge here, highlighting the area's role as a regional transit hub.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the bottomlands of the Yockanookany River and various tributaries such as Apookta Creek and Hurricane Creek. The rural outskirts are dotted with small community landmarks, including Marvin Chapel, Marble Rock Ch, and several family burial grounds like Presley Cem and Dodd Cem. Sand extraction appears as a notable local industry, evidenced by numerous Sandpits scattered across the northern terrain, while the Drive-in Theater and Fairground offer a glimpse into the mid-century social life of Attala County.
