1957 Map of Seven Pines

About this map

Leflore County and Carroll County converge in this mid-century landscape where the winding Yazoo River and its numerous oxbows, such as Roebuck Lake and Fish Lake, define the western alluvial plain. The Illinois Central railroad serves as a primary transit spine, connecting river settlements like Sidon and Cruger with the surrounding agricultural territory. To the east, the terrain rises into the loess bluffs, characterized by a high density of rural congregation points and burial grounds, including the Centerville Ch & Cem and Shiloh Ch & Cem. One of the most striking elements is the Greenwood Air Base (Abandoned) in the north, showing the decommissioned military footprint near Rising Sun. This area is rich in evidence of deep history, from Indian Mounds near the river to the network of family-named landmarks like Gorden Chapel Ch and Keirn.
