1982 Map of White Plains

About this map

White Plains and the smaller Plains settlement center this survey of the Mississippi piney woods, located where the De Soto National Forest meets the Red Creek State Wildlife Management Area. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage basins, most notably the meandering Tchoutacabouffa River and its major tributaries like Tuxachanie Creek and Hester Creek. This era of the early 1980s shows a region primarily shaped by timber management and conservation, with a sparse road network including White Plains Road and Long Beach Road connecting isolated family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find the locations of Walden Cem and Krohn Cem particularly valuable for tracing local residents in the northern reaches of Harrison and Jackson counties.
