About this map

Selmer serves as a central hub in this McNairy County landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The map captures the area during a period of transition, with early photogrammetric work from the late 1940s updated with 1970s revisions that highlight the town's expansion. Rural life is anchored by numerous small congregations and burial grounds, such as Bethesda Ch, Mt Zion Church, and the Warren Cem, indicating a well-established network of family-settled communities.
