1983 Map of Quitman
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Chickasawhay River winds south through the heart of Clarke County, anchoring a landscape where water and rail dictate the settlement pattern. At the center of the sheet, Quitman serves as the primary hub, its streets crossing the Illinois Central Gulf railroad tracks near the local Po and City Hall. This 1980s landscape is defined by extensive water recreation and memorial sites, including the expansive Archusa Creek Water Park and the northern Clarkco State Park surrounding Ivy Lake. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds and sanctuaries, from the Confederate Cem near the river to outlying locations like Little Zion Cem, Pisgah Cem, and Sandy Grove Ch. The presence of the Clarke Co Airport and the Radio Tower (Wben) indicates the modernization of this timber and river corridor during the late twentieth century.
