1964 Map of Matherville

About this map

The Shiloh Treaty Boundary cuts across the northern landscape, serving as a historic marker of land division within Wayne and Clarke Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bucatunna Creek and its many tributaries, including Cypress Creek and Shiloh Creek. In the southern reaches, the Diamond Oil Field indicates the mid-century industrial activity of the region, interspersed with numerous country churches that anchored the local community. Small settlements like Matherville and Gretna are visible alongside essential social landmarks such as Mt Levy Sch and several family or community burial grounds, including Scotch Chapel Cem and the Gandy Cem. This survey illustrates a rural Mississippi landscape where traditional church-centered communities and historic treaty lines remained central to the geography even as resource extraction began to leave its mark on the land.
