1966 Map of Shannon

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from Johnsons Chapel and Temples Cem in the north to New Prospect Ch in the south. The convergence of Lee, Monroe, and Chickasaw counties creates a patchwork of jurisdictions, with rural congregations such as Black Oak Ch and Calvary Ch serving as anchors for local families. Natural resource extraction is hinted at by a Sandpit and scattered gas wells, while the edges of Okolona and Nettleton provide context for the region's larger trade centers.
