1972 Map of Wesson

About this map

Wesson and Beauregard serve as the primary anchors of this 1970s landscape, situated along the Illinois Central Gulf rail corridor. The map highlights a significant academic presence at Copiah-Lincoln Jr College, while the surrounding rural terrain is dotted with generational landmarks like Mathews Chapel and the St Peter Rock Cem. To the south, the settlement of New Sight sits near the Treaty and Indian Boundary lines, offering a clear record of historical land divisions that shaped the Copiah and Lincoln county border. A network of Gravel Pits and various creek systems, including Bahala and Clear creeks, illustrate the local industry and drainage patterns. Notable family and community sites such as Zion Hill Ch Cem and Hillcrest Ch provide essential data for genealogists tracing roots through these central Mississippi communities.
