About this map

Angola and the rugged Tunica Hills dominate this portion of the Mississippi River corridor along the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated bluffs of the hills down to the expansive alluvial bottomlands and the dramatic curve of Tunica Bend. This 2020 survey reveals a complex hydrological network where the Raccourci Old River and numerous lakes, such as Sugar House Lake and Monday Lake, reflect the shifting path of the river over time.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds, including Point Lookout Cem, Saint John Cem, and Rogillio Cem, scattered across the undulating terrain. The infrastructure of the area is highlighted by Tunica Trce and the Angola Airstrip, providing essential connections through this unique topographic region. Smaller settlements like Tunica, Brake, and Brandon are also documented, anchored by local landmarks such as the Friendship Cem near the state line.
