1966 Map of Troy

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts a diagonal path through this landscape, marking a historical corridor of travel between Troy and Old Houlka. Much of the southern and central terrain is preserved within the Tombigbee National Forest, where the waters of Chuquatonchee Creek and Davis Creek converge near Davis Lake. This 1960s-era survey reveals a rural landscape deeply rooted in communal landmarks, from the Indian Mounds near Shiloh Ch to a network of family and community burial grounds such as Falkner Cem and Halsey Cem. The drainage patterns of Little Creek and Owl Creek define the ridges and hollows where small settlements and churches like New Salem Ch and Pilgrim Ch organized the local geography. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides a precise layout of rural life before modernization altered the older road and settlement patterns of Chickasaw and Pontotoc counties.
