1987 Map of New Hope
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Lake Lowndes State Park anchors the central landscape of this 1980s survey, illustrating the intersection of recreation and rural industry along the Mississippi Alabama border. The settlement of New Hope and the nearby McCrary community are defined by a network of rural routes like Old Airline Road and Golden Road, alongside the tracks of the Gulf and Mississippi. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Beersheba Cumberland Ch, Marrshs Chapel, and Baptist Grove Ch. To the south, an Abandoned Landing Field and numerous Gravel Pits suggest shifting land use and local industry. The drainage of Ellis Creek, Nash Creek, and Greens Creek through the wooded terrain highlights the area's natural topography before it reaches the Columbus outskirts.
