1970 Map of Montrose South

About this map

Bienville National Forest dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor passes through the town of Louin. The terrain is defined by the branching networks of Tallahala Creek and Nuakfuppa Creek, with small settlements and family cemeteries scattered throughout the rural landscape. Significant cultural landmarks include the Bay Springs Country Club and several country churches like Palestine Ch and Mulberry Ch. Local industry is evidenced by the presence of a Pipeline crossing the eastern sections and scattered Oil Well locations. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of numerous burial sites, including the St Paul Cem, McCarty Cem, and Old Hatch Cem, which often represent the only remaining physical markers of early family homesteads and community nodes in Jasper County.
