About this map

Holly Springs National Forest dominates the landscape of north-central Mississippi on this early 1980s survey. The area is defined by the winding course of the Tippah River and Oaklimeter Creek, where the Burlington Northern railroad serves the small communities of Potts Camp and Winborn. Local life is anchored by a network of country churches and cemeteries, including Bethany Ch, St Mary Ch, and Harmony Cem.

The presence of multiple sandpits indicates local extraction industries, while Chewalla Lake and the Chewalla Recreation Area point toward the importance of water management and forest recreation. Distinctive landmarks like Temperance Hill and small settlements such as Waites provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Marshall and Benton counties during this era of quiet rural development.
