1947 Map of New Augusta
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Camp Shelby Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this 1940s survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in southern Mississippi during and after the war years. Much of the surrounding acreage is held within the De Soto National Forest, where the terrain is marked by the winding courses of the Leaf River and Black Creek. This era of the map shows a transition in local infrastructure, noting an abandoned CCC Camp near the community of Brooklyn, which reflects the winding down of Depression-era public works projects.
