1940 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Yazoo River and its ancient floodplain dominate the western edge of this 1940s landscape, where a sharp escarpment separates the river bottomlands from the higher terrain of Holmes County. The town of Lexington serves as the focal point for a network of rural roads and rails, including the (Y & M V) RR and the Mississippi Central RR. The map reveals a deeply established social infrastructure, marked by numerous small community centers such as Eulogy, Tolarsville, and Brozville.
