1965 Map of Marietta
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Marietta and the surrounding rural communities of Hobo Station and New Site anchor this mid-1960s study of Prentiss County. The landscape is defined by the valley of Big Brown Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Sapling Creek. A prominent diagonal segment of the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts through the southwest, representing the modern iteration of this ancient travel corridor. The area's social fabric is visible through its numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Candlers Chapel, Blythes Chapel, and Zions Rest Ch. On a high point overlooking the creeks, the Marietta Lookout Tower stands as a distinct landmark for fire observation. These features reveal a settled agricultural region where life centered on small town centers and the crossroads churches that served local families.
