1969 Map of Pinebur

About this map

The Marion County State Wildlife Management Area anchors the landscape of southern Mississippi, dominated by a dense network of watercourses including Upper Big Creek and the Boggy Prong. This 1960s environment, updated with 1980s data, shows the transition of the timber and transport economy through the presence of an Old Railroad Grade running near the settlement of Pinebur. Community life is rooted in the landscape at Brushy Creek Ch and Pinebur Ch, while recreational and resource management is evident in the development of Lake Bill Waller, Lake Columbia, and Lake Watts. The eastern boundary is defined by the Marion Co and Lamar Co line, crossing through rugged terrain where Hollywood Spring and various gravel pits suggest the local geological utility.
