1968 Map of Willisville

About this map

Willisville and Campbell Hill anchor this rural landscape in the late 1960s, a region where the industrial footprint of the Strip Mine contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and creek-cut terrain. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad cuts a diagonal path through the area, linking these small settlements and passing near the Trico High Sch. This era of the landscape is characterized by a dense network of country cemeteries and parish life, with family and community sites like St Joseph Cem, Bradley Cem, and the Blackberry Community Hall serving as local landmarks. The drainage of Pipestone Creek and Cox Creek defines the local topography, while numerous small churches such as St Johns Ch and St Peters Ch reflect the established social fabric of Perry, Randolph, and Jackson counties.
