2015 Map of Banks

About this map

Marienette and Eudora anchor this 2015 survey of the northern Mississippi lowlands, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways transitioning into the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta. The terrain is marked by a complex system of bayous and drainage ditches, such as Lake Cormorant Bayou and the Big Six Ditch, which manage the flow through this flood-prone agricultural region. The presence of several distinct water bodies, including Lake Greenwood Leflore and Chief Chisca Lake, suggests a history of oxbow formation and land management near the Coldwater River. To the southeast, the map captures the western reaches of Arkabutla Lake, a significant reservoir that reshaped the local topography. For genealogists and local historians, the document provides a contemporary view of small settlements like Banks and Trinity, set against a grid of rural roads and the sprawling expansion of the Casino Strip Resort Blvd Ext.
