1972 Map of Stronghope

About this map

The settlement of Stronghope and the surrounding piney woods landscape are documented here during the early 1970s. This rural stretch of the Mississippi countryside is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bahala Creek, Wolf Pen Branch, and Fords Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain near the border of Copiah and Lincoln counties. A notable cultural landmark is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs diagonally across the landscape, marking a significant historical line of demarcation.
