About this map

Camp Shelby dominates the landscape of this late-1940s survey, illustrating the military footprint in southern Mississippi alongside the De Soto National Forest. The map documents the relocation of the county seat from Old Augusta to the newer site of New Augusta along the Southern railroad line. The Leaf River and Black Creek wind through the region, supporting local industry and early transit points like McLaurin Landing Field.
