1955 Map of Savannah

About this map

The southern Mississippi piney woods and coastal plains dominate this mid-century landscape, centered on the De Soto National Forest and the winding course of the Wolf River. This survey captures a rural network of small timber-and-farming communities like Savannah, Necaise, and Lizana before modern development patterns fully shifted. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous country churches and burial grounds such as White Cypress Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the Sand Hill Cem.
