1970 Map of Prentiss East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Illinois Central railroad corridor anchors this survey of central Mississippi, connecting the municipal centers of Prentiss and Carson. Education and local heritage are highlighted by the presence of the Prentiss Institute and numerous rural houses of worship, including Antioch Ch, Hebron Ch, and Dumas Ch. The landscape is a network of creek drainages such as White Sand Creek and Holiday Creek, punctuated by several family-named burial grounds like McPhail Cem and Holloway Cem. A notable geographic feature is Jefferson Davis Lake, which serves as a recreational hub with its adjacent Picnic Areas and Campground. From the Jefferson Davis Lookout Tower to the various Gravel Pit operations, the map illustrates the mid-century balance between timber management, local infrastructure, and the small-town life of the Piney Woods region.
