1984 Map of Laurel
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Leaf River and its major tributaries, including Okatoma Creek and Bogue Homa, define the drainage and development patterns across this central Mississippi landscape. The city of Laurel serves as a major hub in the east, where the Southern RR intersects with the local highway network. To the west, Mendenhall and Magee anchor the corridor along U.S. Highway 49, illustrating the importance of regional road-and-rail transit. Extensive public lands, including the De Soto National Forest and the Chickasawhay State Wildlife Management Area, dominate the southeastern portion of the map, while numerous state fishing lakes like Simpson Legion State Fishing Lake and Lake Mike Conner are scattered throughout. The planimetric detail reveals a mix of timberlands and rural agricultural plots, with smaller settlements like Taylorsville, Collins, and Bay Springs connected by a web of state highways.
