1971 Map of Meridian North

About this map

The growing northern periphery of Meridian dominates this 1970s landscape, where residential expansion meets the rural crossroads of Bailey. The map reveals a transition from the dense urban core near Highland Park to the developing suburbs marked by new schools and infrastructure, including the Northeast Lauderdale High Sch and the State Hospital. A strong religious and memorial landscape is evident through numerous historic sites like Magnolia Cemetery, the Confederate Cem, and the Beth Israel Cem.
