1958 Map of Lexington
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The county seat of Lexington anchors this 1950s study of central Holmes County, where the transition from the Mississippi Delta to the loess bluffs is clearly marked by the winding courses of Horseshoe Lake and Tchula Lake. Along the eastern edge of the Delta, the Illinois Central railroad corridor connects the rail hubs of Gwin and Tehula, serving an agricultural landscape defined by extensive drainage systems like Millstone Bayou. The interior hills reveal a deeply rooted rural society centered around integrated community sites such as Mt Olive Sch Ch & Cem and Hickory Springs Sch Ch & Cem. These combined church, school, and cemetery locations suggest the historic patterns of family settlement across the ridges and creek valleys, including Bophumpa Creek and Fannegusha Creek. The map also details early landmarks like Morgan Brake and the small settlements of Howard and Eulogy.
