1966 Map of Troy SE

About this map

The town of Okolona anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the prairie begins to meet the wooded uplands of the Tombigbee National Forest. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures a transition in the rural South as the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts diagonally across the terrain. The map is particularly dense with community landmarks that define the social geography of the era, including numerous rural congregations such as Red Oak Grove Ch, Union Chapel, and Prairie Mount Ch.
