1963 Map of Learned

About this map

Illinois Central rails and the historic Natchez Trace Parkway cut diagonally through this rural Hinds County landscape, framing a network of small communities and family-centered landmarks. The village of Learned serves as a central hub, surrounded by institutional sites like the Oakley Training School and the Brown Loam Branch Experiment Station. The map is particularly dense with community anchors, including the Oak Grove Ch, New Salem Ch, and the Burleigh Hamilton Sch, reflecting the importance of local churches and schools in rural Mississippi life during the early 1960s.
