1964 Map of Lumberton

About this map

Lumberton serves as the focal point of this South Mississippi landscape, situated at the junction of the Southern railway and several regional waterways. The map reveals a post-war rural economy characterized by timber and gravel extraction, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the sprawling De Soto National Forest to the south. Educational and religious centers like Bass Memorial Academy and Corinth Ch anchor the surrounding communities, while the development of the Little Black Creek Water Park indicates a mid-century shift toward recreational land use.
