1970 Map of Mendenhall East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

State Sanatorium and the town of Sanatorium serve as the southeastern anchor for this study of Simpson County, centered on the Illinois Central railroad corridor. The landscape is a mix of agricultural fields and timbered ridges, where numerous country churches and small family cemeteries suggest deep genealogical roots. The seat at Mendenhall is clearly detailed, showing the Armory, Airport, and local institutions like Simpson Academy. In the rural hinterlands, the map records the distribution of local industry and community life, from the Gravel Pits near Weathersby to the Drive-in Theater and Simpson Lookout Tower. Waterways like Sellers Creek and Okatoma Creek drain the undulating terrain, while spiritual centers such as Zion Hill Ch and Bethlehem Ch mark the crossroads of this Mississippi interior.
