About this map

The Tunica Hills rise sharply above the Mississippi River floodplain on this West Feliciana Parish survey, creating a dramatic landscape where the uplands meet the bottomlands. To the west, the Mississippi River creates a complex hydrologic network of abandoned channels and oxbows, including Raccourci Old River and Lake Killarney. This proximity to the river is further highlighted by landmarks like Tunica Bend and Leatherman Point.

Human settlement patterns follow the transition from the hills to the flats. The community of Tunica sits near the base of the loess bluffs, while numerous family and community burial sites, including Rogillio Cem and Saint John Cem, are tucked into the drainages of the hills. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Angola Airstrip and a network of parish roads such as Tunica Trce and Old Tunica Rd, which navigate the complex terrain of the West Feliciana Parish line.
