About this map

Lobutcha Creek and its many tributaries, including Wildcat Cr and Reedy Creek, dominate the landscape of Winston County at the beginning of the 1970s. The map reveals a deeply established rural social fabric anchored by numerous country churches such as Pleasant Hill Ch, Welcome Chapel, and Whitehall Ch, many of which are accompanied by family cemeteries like Steep Cem and Boswell Cem.

A network of local industry is visible through the several Sandpit operations and Sandpits scattered near Hopewell Ch and Ball Creek. The rural infrastructure is further highlighted by the prominent Pipeline corridor crossing the northern half of the quadrangle and the inclusion of a local Community Center and Radio Tower, indicating the mid-century development of this pocket of northern Mississippi.
