This interesting long map shows approximately twenty miles on either side of railroad running down the state line between Mississippi and Alabama from the Chickasaw Boundary (just north of Columbus, MS) south to Mobile Bay. The map illustrates the six and fifteen mile limits of the railroad grant, as well as private land grants and townships. An uncommon and important railroad strip map.
