1968 Map of Louin SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Leaf River carves a winding path southward through Smith County. This late 1960s survey captures a rural Mississippi terrain defined by family-named hills like Morgan Hill and Flat Rock Hill, and a scattered network of country churches and burial grounds that serve as vital markers for local genealogy. Settlements like Sylvarena and the edge of Raleigh anchor the road system, while the presence of several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit indicates the active extraction industries of the era. The mapping of Wadell Cave and several spring-fed waters, including Spring Lakes, highlights the natural hydrology that shaped early settlement patterns. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for community centers such as Christian Chapel, Trinity Ch, and the Cedar Grove Ch Cem, offering a clear view of the area's social and spiritual geography.
