1972 Map of Pricedale

About this map

The Little Creek Oil Field dominates the northwest corner of this Mississippi landscape, illustrating the region's mid-century industrial footprint at the junction of Lincoln and Pike Counties. This 1972 survey captures the community of Pricedale as it sits near the convergence of Topisaw Creek and Carters Creek. The map provides significant genealogical value through its density of named family landmarks and rural institutions, including the McDavid, McEwen, and Bridges cemeteries, alongside numerous country churches like New Zion Ch and Spring Beulah Ch. Recreational and civic life is anchored by Felders Campground and John Felder Memorial Park, while the southern reaches follow the winding path of the Bogue Chitto, showing the area's transition from resource extraction to a established rural community network of schools like North Pike Jr High Sch.
