1964 Map of Waynesboro

About this map

Waynesboro serves as the focal point of this Mississippi landscape, situated at the crossroads of a significant timber and transport corridor. The Chickasawhay River meanders through the eastern portion of the sheet, paralleled by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which historically anchored the region's commerce. The map reflects a community defined by its rural institutions, with numerous country churches like Antioch Ch and West King Ch and family-named burial sites such as Mozingo Cem and Dyers Cem marking the terrain. A notable feature of the landscape is the Maynor Creek Water Park, where the impounded Maynor Creek creates a large reservoir system. Industrial activity is evident through various Gravel Pit operations and a nearby Oil Field, while the Wayne Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding pine forests.
