About this map

Woodville serves as the central hub of this 1980s southwestern Mississippi landscape, situated amidst a dense network of creek drainages and timbered terrain. The map documents a transition in local transportation, most notably showing an Old RR Grade south of the main settlement, indicating a shift from rail dependence to road networks near the Louisiana border. Small rural communities like Ashwood and Turnbull are positioned along the southern corridors, while a remote Landing Strip suggests the importance of aerial access for local agriculture or industry.

Water plays a defining role in the topography, with Thompson Creek and its West Fork carving through the southern half of the quadrangle. Numerous family-named waterways, such as Fords Creek, Browns Creek, and Jones Creek, intersect the region. Several small Cem sites are scattered throughout the wooded hills, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Wilkinson County during this period.
