1958 Map of Logtown

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Logtown and Pearlington anchor this coastal Mississippi landscape along the lower Pearl River, a region defined by the vast wetlands of Devils Swamp and Lower Devils Swamp. The map documents a significant era of transition, where traditional riverfront settlements and rural cemeteries like The Point Cem and Logtown Cem exist alongside the sprawling modern footprint of the Mississippi Test Facility (NASA). This massive government installation, served by the Southern railroad, contrasts with the older geography of winding bayous and family-named landmarks like Pate Bayou and Whites Bayou. For genealogists, the inclusion of remote structures such as Mt Zion Ch and Spring Branch Ch provides vital location data for community centers that served this riverine economy before late-century changes.
