1962 Map of Lynville

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Naval Auxiliary Air Station Bravo Field dominates the central landscape of this rural Kemper County survey, its diagonal runway cutting a clear swath through the wooded hills. This military presence sits alongside established local communities like Lynville and Kellis Store, where life remained centered around a dense network of country churches including Clarks Chapel, Bethlehem Ch, and Smyrna Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, most notably the winding Bogue Chitto Land Creek and Bendix Creek, which defined the agricultural boundaries and field lines visible from 1950s aerial photography. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Sandpit north of the airfield, while family history is rooted at sites like the Chamberlin Cem and Smith Cem, preserving the names of the families who settled this intersection of the Mississippi hill country.
