2015 Map of Beulah

About this map

Lake Beulah and the winding course of the Mississippi River boundary dominate this Bolivar County landscape. The settlement of Beulah sits just east of the river bend, surrounded by a network of smaller communities such as Christmas, Mound City, and Symonds. This Delta region is defined by its complex drainage systems, where water bodies like Bogue Phalia, Laban Bayou, and Half Moon Bayou meander through the flat agricultural lands. For local history researchers, the map identifies several scattered burial sites including Scotland Cem, Sharewell Cem, and Waldon Cem, which are often the only remaining physical markers of early rural family settlements. The intricate grid of country roads, such as Old Malvina Rd and Mound City Rd, connects these dispersed hamlets and reflects the area's long-standing agricultural organization.
