1965 Map of Starkville

About this map

The growing college town of Starkville is captured here in the mid-1960s, anchored by the sprawling campus of Mississippi State University and the downtown Courthouse. This era of development is evident in the residential expansion toward Clayton Village and the presence of institutions like Henderson High Sch and Overstreet Sch. The map reveals a landscape defined by its creek network, including Talking Warrior Creek and Tobacco Juice Creek, which drain the surrounding agricultural and timbered lands.
