1955 Map of Ripley

About this map

Ripley serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad cuts a north-south line through the heart of Tippah County. The terrain is defined by complex drainage basins, including the headwaters of the Hatchie River and the Little Hatchie River, which give way to broad bottomlands like Green Bottom and Gus Bottom. These fertile lowlands are contrasted by notable elevations such as Oil Mill Hill and the Scruggs Hills.
