1971 Map of Mt. Pleasant

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Tennessee Mississippi Line bisects the northern reaches of this rural landscape, marking the transition between Fayette County, Tennessee, and Marshall County, Mississippi. In the early 1970s, this area was defined by a dense network of small communities and family landmarks concentrated along the drainage of the Coldwater River. Mt Pleasant stands as the primary settlement on the eastern edge, while the western portion is anchored by Cayce and New Salem. The distribution of local landmarks like Royal Chapel and New Sharron Ch suggests a deeply rooted community structure tied to the land. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous small burial grounds noted across the terrain, including Benton Cem, King Cem, and Brittenum Cem. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region, where Little Coldwater Creek and Oppossum Creek feed into the larger river systems that define the local topography.
