1972 Map of McDonald

About this map

The Choctaw Indian Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this Neshoba County landscape, reflecting the enduring presence of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Photogrammetric methods from 1970 reveal a rural network of small communities and social centers, including the Fairground near Coldwater and several country churches like St Paul Ch and Pine Grove Ch. The eastern edge of the map follows a distinct drainage and transport corridor, where the Kentawka Canal and Gulf Central Illinois Canal parallel the rail line serving Deemer (Station) and McDonald. This industrial and agricultural water management system contrasts with the meandering path of Beasha Creek to the west. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Morrow Memorial Cem and Sand Hill Cem, providing a detailed view of the area's mid-century rural distribution.
