1988 Map of Street

About this map

The West Fork Amite River and East Fork Amite River define the local topography of this Mississippi landscape, framing a rural community anchored by the settlement of Street. By the late 1980s, the region shows a mix of traditional agricultural patterns and active energy extraction, notably within the Liberty Oil Field where several oil wells and a drill hole are documented. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the Maxwell Hamilton Cem, Robinson Cem Grave, and McDowell Cem, alongside numerous country churches like Galilee Ch and Mt Pilgrim Ch. These features suggest a deeply rooted settlement pattern that persisted even as a modern pipeline was cut across the drainage basins of Powell Creek and Davis Creek.
