About this map

Meridian anchor's this 1970s landscape, where the urban grid of the city meets the wooded ridges of eastern Mississippi. The map documents a significant era of infrastructure, showing the expansion of residential neighborhoods like Oakland Heights and Savannah Grove alongside the developing campus of Meridian Jr College. Transportation and industry are prominent features, from the operations at Key Field to the Southern and Gulf Mobile And Ohio rail lines. The city's edge transitions into a network of small communities such as Bonita and Zero, where life centered around landmarks like the Long Creek Recreation Center and numerous local churches including Jones Chapel and Wesley Chapel. Genealogists will find a detailed record of local burials, with locations for Rose Hill Cem, Simpson Cem, and Pine Grove Cem clearly identified among the rolling terrain and numerous sandpits that dot the countryside.
