1968 Map of White Oak

About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the eastern half of this Mississippi landscape, where the Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a straight historical line through the terrain. The community of White Oak serves as a central point, situated just south of the winding White Oak Creek. The western portion of the map is defined by the Strong River and a significant Oil and Gas Field, indicating the extraction economy of the region in the late 1960s. Genealogists will find numerous family burial sites, including Miley Cem, Dukes Cem, and Everett Cem, many situated near small rural congregations such as Sardis Ch and Galilee Ch. The presence of the Courtney Lookout Tower in the northeast and a major Pipeline to the south further illustrates the forest management and industrial infrastructure present during this era.
