1963 Map of Smyrna

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Smyrna and Bowerton anchor this rural landscape in Copiah County during the early 1960s, a region defined by its dense network of small family churches and winding creek valleys. The topography is deeply carved by water, with Halls Creek, Jackson Creek, and Bishop Valley Creek creating a complex drainage system through the wooded hills. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of community landmarks like Mt Olive Ch and its accompanying Mt Olive Cem, as well as New Zion Ch and Pineleaf Cem. The eastern portion of the quadrangle shows the expansive Kaywood Plantation and a nearby Landing Strip, indicating larger landholdings and modernization. Industrial activity is represented by scattered Gravel Pits, while the prominent Base Line survey marker cuts across the northern section, illustrating the foundational grid of Mississippi's land division.
