1932 Map of Philipp

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Tallahatchie River and Yalobusha River define this lowland landscape, where a complex network of bayous and oxbow lakes like Hampton Lake and Fish Lake mark the alluvial plain. In the early 1930s, this region was a tapestry of small rural communities and church-centered settlements such as Locopolis, Philipp, and Tippo. The presence of the Columbus and Greenville RR and the Beat Line Road provided essential transportation links through the bottomlands. Education and faith were central to local life, evidenced by numerous institutions including Rosenwald Sch, St Mark Ch, and Cypress Grove Chapel. To the east, the terrain rises toward Stonefield Hill and Rattlesnake Hill, offering a sharp contrast to the marshy western basins protected by a winding Levee system. This survey preserves a detailed view of the rural South before major mid-century agricultural shifts changed the settlement patterns.
