1943 Map of Lucedale
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The confluence of the Chickasawhay River and Leaf River defines the western edge of this wartime survey, where the waters merge to form the Pascagoula River. This riverine landscape is marked by numerous oxbows and secondary channels such as McCrea Dead R and Bilbo Dead R, revealing a dynamic floodplain that dictated the placement of early settlements. To the east, the seat of Lucedale serves as a hub for both the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and the Mississippi Export railroads, which facilitated the region's timber and agricultural economies.
