1998 Map of Nicholson

About this map

The Pearl River forms a complex boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana, weaving through a dense network of bayous and wetlands including Broadaxe Bayou and English Bayou. In the northeast, the settlement of Nicholson sits at a crossroads of industry and transport, where the Norfolk Southern railway line runs parallel to extensive Sandpits and gravel operations. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Old Palestine Ch and Corinth Ch, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the high-security perimeter of the John C Stennis Space Center (NASA).
