1970 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Pearl River dominates this landscape along the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, its winding course defining the boundary between Marion County and Washington Parish. The 1970 landscape reveals a rural economy shaped by both traditional land use and modern infrastructure, featuring several small settlements like Spring Cottage and Sandy Hook. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor runs north-south, providing a transit backbone for the region alongside an emerging network of gas wells and a prominent Pipeline. Numerous country churches and their associated grounds, such as United Ch Cem and Ford Chapel Cem, are scattered throughout the hills and river bottoms, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research. The river valley is a complex of wetlands and oxbows, including Black Lake and Spains Lake, while the uplands show evidence of local industry through scattered Gravel Pits and a Fish Farm.
