1971 Map of New Byram

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

New Byram and its surrounding rural communities in Hinds County appear here during a period of transition in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the Pearl River at Wansley Bend, where the county line meets Rankin County. The transportation network is anchored by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which runs parallel to the river valley. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and community centers, such as Mt Salem Ch, Rhodes Creek Ch, and New Haven Ch, suggesting a deeply rooted social geography. In the northwest, the Raymond Lookout Tower and Seven Springs overlook a terrain marked by Gravel Pits, while smaller settlements like Bethesda and Pine Grove sit further south. This survey captures the area before the significant suburban expansion that would later alter these small Mississippi crossroads.
