1950 Map of Odessa North

About this map

Odessa serves as the primary hub at the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor provides a vital transportation spine through Lafayette County. The rural character of the region is defined by a dense network of country school districts and small social centers, such as the Greenton Ch and Greenton Cem cluster. The topography is intricately carved by the Little Sni-A-Bar Creek and its various forks, creating a landscape of ridges and hollows that historically dictated the placement of homesteads and winding local roads.
