1964 Map of Richton
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The town of Richton serves as the focal point for this survey of Perry County, Mississippi, capturing a landscape defined by small settlements and the emerging infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Just south of the town center, the Richton-Perry Co Airport and the Richton Lookout Tower mark the high ground between the drainage basins of Thompson Creek and Beaver Dam Creek. The map documents a rural society anchored by numerous country churches, including Clay Hill Ch and Seminary Ch, alongside family-linked landmarks like McSwain Cem. Industrial activity is evident through a series of Gravel Pits and localized Oil Wells, while the presence of a Railroad Grade northwest of town suggests the changing transport patterns as older rail lines were phased out for road improvements.
