About this map

The community of Stewart serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the Columbus and Greenville railroad line. This interior Mississippi landscape is defined by the convergence of Webster, Montgomery, and Choctaw counties, where the natural meandering of the Big Black River meets the engineered precision of the Columbus and Greenville River Canal. The map reveals a dense network of country churches that anchored rural life, including Milligan Springs Ch, Serepta Ch, and New Prospect Ch.

Evidence of the local economy and geology is visible in the scattered Mine sites and the presence of a Flowing Well near the river bottomlands. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and resting places such as Jopkins Cem, Thompson Cem, and Dacus Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses like Catabrella Creek and Yates Creek, which feed into the primary river system.
