1972 Map of McAfee

About this map

The Choctaw Indian Reservation occupies a significant portion of this landscape in central Mississippi, situated among the undulating hills and drainages of the Pearl River. The rural character of the area is defined by dispersed settlements like McAfee, Freeny, and Free Trade, which are connected by a network of local roads and an Old Railroad Grade tracing through the northern section. This survey reveals a community-focused geography centered on local institutions, including the Standing Pine Sch, Harmony Sch, and several rural churches such as Hope Well Ch and New Bethel Ch. Along the southern reaches, the village of Estesmill and the Lookout Tower stand as notable landmarks. The landscape is further shaped by the winding paths of Lobutcha Creek and Standing Pine Creek, with numerous Sandpits indicating local extractive activity during the early 1970s.
