1966 Map of Troy

About this map

Tombigbee National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the intersection of conserved timberlands and deep-rooted rural settlements. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Little Goodfood Creek and Chuquatonchee Creek, which feed into the central Davis Lake. The map reveals a transition in settlement patterns between Old Houlka and the newer Houlka to the west, while the historic Natchez Trace Parkway cuts through the southeastern corner. Local genealogy and community history are well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks such as Toxish Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the Falkner Cem. Of particular archaeological interest is the notation of Indian Mounds located near the forest boundary, signaling long-standing human presence in this Chickasaw County region.
