1966 Map of Smithville

A notable historical marker is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the southern terrain, reflecting early land divisions between Monroe and Itawamba counties. Local life is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Emmaus Ch and New Chapel Cem. The proliferation of Gravel Pits along the riverbanks and the presence of a Drive-in Theater near the river crossing highlight the mid-century industrial and social character of this Mississippi region.
