1966 Map of Prairie

About this map

The intersection of the Gulf Mobile And Ohio railroad and local rural life forms the heart of this mid-1960s Mississippi landscape. Centered on the community of Prairie, the map captures a period when regional connectivity relied heavily on rail, evidenced by the infrastructure near the Aberdeen-Prairie Sch. The terrain is defined by its waterways, including Chuquatonchee Creek and Hogpen Creek, which wind through a patchwork of small settlements and family farms.
