About this map

Lake Beulah and the adjacent Mississippi River dominate this 1969 Delta landscape, marking the complex boundary between Bolivar County, Mississippi, and Desha County, Arkansas. The map reveals a land shaped by water and agriculture, where numerous Indian Mounds sit near the winding banks of Bogue Phalia and Laban Bayou. The town of Beulah serves as a local hub along the Illinois Central railroad line, surrounded by smaller settlements like Niles, Malvina, and Mound City.

Cultural landmarks are densely scattered throughout the region, including many rural houses of worship such as St Andrews Ch, Bold Pilgrim Ch, and Living Hope Ch. The prevalence of sites like the Beulah Cem and Morning Star Ch Cem provides significant detail for genealogical research. Industrial and infrastructure markers, such as an Old Railroad Grade near Symonds and a Fish Farm near Dry Bayou, illustrate the area's economic transition during the late 1960s.
