About this map

The headwaters of Chickasawhay Creek and Tallachula Creek define this rural portion of Kemper County, Mississippi, during the early 1960s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure. Significant local landmarks include Moscow and Damascus, surrounded by spiritual hubs such as Mt Zion Ch, West Kemper Ch, and Shiloh Ch.

Education and local industry are marked by the presence of Little Rock Sch and a Sandpit, while the terrain is dotted with several family-named cemeteries like Cole Cem, McDonald Cem, and Talbert Cem. The map provides a clear look at the area's timber and forest management infrastructure, notably indicated by the Lookout Tower positioned near Big Oak Ch. Fine red dashed lines throughout the sheet record field and fence boundaries as they appeared in 1958, offering researchers a detailed view of mid-century land use.
