1972 Map of Little Springs

About this map

The Homochitto National Forest covers much of this landscape in the early 1970s, characterized by the winding headwaters of Mc Call Creek and McGehee Creek. This specific area of southwest Mississippi preserves a clear record of nineteenth-century frontier surveying, as the Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across the forest terrain west of Little Springs. This line represents a significant historical marker in the transition of land from native territory to settlement.
