1972 Map of Madden

About this map

The boundary of Leake Co Neshoba Co bisects this rural landscape during the early 1970s, where small settlements like Madden and Laurel Hill serve as the primary hubs for a network of country roads. Education and religion anchor these communities, evidenced by the presence of Leake Academy and a high density of local houses of worship, including Cherry Chapel, New Bethel Ch, and Old Arbor Mt Zion Ch. The terrain is shaped by the drainage of several waterways, most notably Standing Pine Creek and Lunelush Creek. While much of the area remains wooded or agricultural, industrial activity is visible through localized extractive sites such as Prairie Gravel and various scattered Sandpit locations. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Carolina Cem and Mt Bethany Cem, providing clear markers for family research in this part of Mississippi.
