1986 Map of Millard

About this map

The Southern railroad line serves as a central spine through this portion of Mississippi, connecting the small communities of Millard and Tyler. This mid-1980s survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the winding drainage networks of Hobolochitto Creek and its many tributaries, including Cypress Creek, Jumpoff Creek, and Juniper Creek. In the southwest, Anchor Lake provides a notable water feature with a designated Rest Area nearby, suggesting a focus on local recreation amidst the timbered terrain. The industrial footprint of the era is visible through a Gravel Pit located near the Pearl River Co Hancock Co boundary. The presence of Fish Ponds further south indicates the varied use of the region's abundant water resources. This map offers a clear look at the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology of the area before modern expansion altered the character of these small rail-side settlements.
