1972 Map of Paris
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Paris serves as the central hub of this North Mississippi landscape in the early 1970s, situated just north of the Lafayette Co Calhoun Co boundary. The area is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including Potlockney Creek, Town Creek, and Otoucalofa Creek, which weave through the agricultural and forested terrain. Settlement is sparse, anchored by small community centers like Delay to the north and numerous country churches that often served as the social heart of rural life. Several sandpits are scattered near the main road corridors, indicating local extractive activity. Genealogists will find particular value in the detailed locations of rural landmarks such as Rock Hill Ch and its accompanying Cem Rock Hill Ch, along with Drivers Flat Ch and Providence Ch, which provide fixed points for tracing family history in this corner of Lafayette County.
