1975 Map of Magee North

About this map

The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts through the piney woods of South Central Mississippi, separating Simpson and Smith Counties in this mid-1970s survey. The northern reaches of Magee and the small settlement of Upton serve as focal points for a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Okatoma Creek, Hatchapaloo Creek, and Big Creek. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous rural landmarks such as Kennedy Springs Ch Cem, Gregory Cem, and New Bethlehem Ch dotting the hillsides. Industrial activity is concentrated in several Gravel Pits and an active Oil Field near the southern boundary, while a large Pipeline traverses the eastern sections. This documentation captures the area before modern expansion, preserving the locations of family-named features like Marlin No 2 and the Maddox community.
