1972 Map of West Lincoln

About this map

The East Fork Amite River winds through this rural portion of Lincoln County, defining a landscape of creek-fed hollows and scattered agricultural settlements in the early 1970s. The community of West Lincoln sits at a crossroads in the northern section, while Arlington and Center Point anchor the southern reaches of the map. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several denominational landmarks and family-associated burial grounds, including the Mt Zion Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Moak & Sasser Cem. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through several scattered Gravel Pit sites, an Oil Well, and a major Pipeline corridor. The presence of a small Landing Strip and the Montgomery Cem near the southern border reflect the diverse land use of this Mississippi countryside during the late twentieth century.
