1972 Map of Sebastopol

About this map

Sebastopol sits at the nexus of four Mississippi counties, where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor serves as a primary axis for the region's mid-century landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of country churches and small community centers like Salem and Kitchener, reflecting the rural social fabric of the early 1970s. Waterways like Bogue Faliah, Sipsey Creek, and Tuscolameta Creek wind through the terrain, with local landmarks such as Steam Mill and Substation indicating localized industrial and utility points. Geographers and historians will note the complex boundary lines where Scott, Leake, Neshoba, and Newton counties meet, as well as the artificial North Canal and South Canal projects that redirected local drainage. The map provides a clear look at local spiritual life through numerous sites like High Hill Ch, Reids Chapel, and White Plains Ch.
