1967 Map of Little River

About this map

Little River Canyon dominates this 1967 survey, carving a deep gorge through the landscape as it winds toward Weiss Lake in the south. The rugged topography of Shinbone Ridge and Dirtseller Mountain creates a natural corridor for the Southern railroad line, while high-altitude settlements like Dog Town and Sigsbee dot the western plateau. This map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, evidenced by the high density of rural churches and family-named cemeteries such as Walkers Chapel, Ruhama Ch, and Starling Cem. The presence of the Little River Wildlife Management Area and Little River State Park indicates a land preserved for public use even as small crossroads like Lickskillet and Congo maintained their local identities along the ridgelines.
