1972 Map of Sapa

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Big Black River and its accompanying Canal carve a significant path through the rural landscape of north-central Mississippi, marking the border where Webster and Choctaw counties meet. During the early 1970s, the region was characterized by small agricultural communities like Sapa and the town of Mathiston, which served as a local hub for education and transport. The campus of Wood Junior College stands out on the eastern edge of the map, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and the Natchez Trace Parkway provide the primary transit corridors. Cultural life is anchored by numerous country churches, including New Hope Ch, Mt Moriah Ch, and Calvary Ch. Notable recreational and industrial sites of the era, such as a Drive-in Theater, a local Golf Course, and a Clay Pit, reflect the mid-century development patterns of these rural hill country townships.
