1957 Map of Quitman

About this map

Quitman serves as the focal point of this late-1950s survey, situated along the Chickasawhay River and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad. The landscape is dense with small rural congregations and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of Clarke County. Notable sites include the historic Archusa Springs and the Confederate Cem located near the town center. To the north, Clarkco State Park surrounds Moore Creek, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of timbered ridges and creek valleys such as Bucatunna Creek and Archusa Creek. The prevalence of landmarks like the Quitman Lookout Tower and numerous country churches, including Hebron Ridge Ch and Rolling Creek Ch, provides a clear view of the area's mid-century rural development before the expansion of modern highways.
