1982 Map of Belzoni
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Yazoo River defines the geography of this Mississippi Delta landscape, winding south past the city of Belzoni. This early 1980s record captures a highly managed floodplain, where numerous floodgates and levees protect established settlements like Brooklyn and Deovolente from the shifting waters of the river and its many oxbow lakes, including Wasp Lake and Ole Lake. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as Watson Chapel, Mt Everest Ch, and several family-named burial grounds like Carson Cem and Fullilove Cem.
