1982 Map of Avalon

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Yalobusha River and its meandering oxbows define the landscape of the Delta's edge in the early 1980s. This survey captures a dense network of small rural communities and church centers, such as Avalon, Whaley, and Parsons, situated along the winding waterways and the Avalon Cutoff. The map reveals the intricate hydrology of the region, where Potacocowa Creek meets the river plain, surrounded by numerous named lakes like Wolf Lake and Flat Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed in its placement of country churches and burial grounds, including Union Grove Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the St James Cem. Large portions of the floodplain are dedicated to the Malmaison State Wildlife Management Area, illustrating the preserved natural character of the bottomlands alongside active agricultural zones near Valley.
