1952 Map of Pelahatchie
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Choctaw Treaty Line of 1820 bisects the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a significant historical boundary in central Mississippi. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Pelahatchie Creek and the Pearl River, which forms the northwestern boundary. Rural life in the mid-century is evidenced by a dense network of country schools and churches, including Andrews Chapel, Rehoboth Ch, and St Helens Ch. The Illinois Central Railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, anchoring the development of Brandon and the town of Pelahatchie. Smaller rail-side settlements like Fannin Sta and Brandon Depot highlight the importance of the iron horse to the local economy. From the open expanses of Barnes Prairie to the specialized landmarks like the Airway Beacon, the map provides a look at a region transitioning from its early treaty-defined origins into a modern railway and agricultural hub.
