1984 Map of Kosciusko

About this map

The Big Black River and Yockanookany River carve through the heart of central Mississippi on this 1980s-era survey, where the Natchez Trace Parkway follows the ancient path across Attala Co and Choctaw Co. The landscape is a network of small timber-and-agricultural settlements linked by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which connects the regional hubs of Winona and Durant in the west to Ackerman and Louisville in the east. This edition captures the rural character of the region before modern highway expansions, showing localized industries like Sandpits and a Claypit near Stewart. Significant conservation lands including the Tombigbee National Forest and Jeff Busby Park provide a clear view of the preserved wilderness areas that define the region's topography between the river bottoms and uplands like Arnold Mountain.
