1962 Map of Post

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Tallahatta Creek and Tallashua Creek carve through this rural landscape at the crossroads of Neshoba, Newton, Kemper, and Lauderdale counties. The 1962 survey reveals a deeply religious and communal settlement pattern, anchored by numerous country churches such as Bethel Ch, Antioch Ch, and Alawine Springs Ch. The small settlement of Post serves as a central hub, while other named locales like Perdue and Herbert Springs reflect the importance of local water sources and family tracts in the mid-century South. Land use is evidenced by features like the Sandpit near Murphy Branch and the King Canal in the northeast, suggesting a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and human intervention. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating vanished landmarks and family burial sites like Trussel Cem.
