1966 Map of Troy NW

About this map

Pontotoc anchors the northwestern corner of this mid-1960s landscape, where the G M & O RR cuts through the edge of town near the Pontotoc Hospital. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Chiwapa Creek, Donaldson Creek, and Tallabinnela Creek, which carve through the terrain to create a series of prominent ridges and valleys. This era shows a rural community structure centered on numerous country churches and family-named cemeteries, such as New Hope Ch and McCluskey Cem. The southern portion of the map is particularly rugged, marked by the Troy Lookout Tower and a landscape of timber and small farms. Smaller settlements like Woodland and Zion appear as crossroads communities, while several small reservoirs and a Sewage Disposal facility reflect the infrastructure of the period.
