1964 Map of Zeiglerville

About this map

Hill country rural life across the Holmes and Yazoo County line is documented in this 1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and church-centered communities. Small settlements like Zeiglerville and Pierce Crossroad serve as anchors in an area deeply carved by the headwaters of Tesheva Creek and Harland Creek. The map reveals a high density of country churches, such as Crossroads Ch, Antioch Ch, and St Luke Ch, many with adjacent cemeteries like the Riley Cem. These sites, along with the King Sch, provide essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing family footprints in the Mississippi interior. Scattered Gravel Pits suggest the local extraction industries that operated alongside the farms, while the winding road network connects more isolated locales like Fordyke and Midway to the larger crossings.
