1966 Map of Stewart

About this map

Stewart sits at the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a key point on the Columbus and Greenville railroad. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Big Black River and the Columbus and Greenville Canal, which cut through the lowlands where Big Slough and Jacks Slough also gather. The area is dense with community landmarks, particularly country churches like Piney Grove Ch and Serepta Ch, reflecting the rural social structure of Webster and Montgomery counties. This survey captures the intricate water management of the period, including the Bywy Ditch, and preserves the locations of numerous family and community sites like Thomson Cem and Williams Spring before modern changes altered these traditional rural boundaries.
