1980 Map of Coles Point

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Sardis Lake dominates this 1980 survey, where the waters of the Little Tallahatchie River spread across the borders of Panola and Lafayette counties. The map reflects a landscape transformed for mid-century recreation and flood control, featuring several recreational hubs such as Pats Bluff and the Coles Point Public Use Area. Despite the inundation of the river valley, remnants of the older upland settlement patterns persist on the surrounding heights. Researchers will find rural landmarks like Carter Mountain and local spiritual centers including Galilee Ch and Spring Hill Ch. The presence of the Emery Cem and Elijah Cem offers specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Mississippi before and after the reservoir's creation. Smaller tributaries like Greasy Creek and Plants Branch continue to feed the expansive lake from the wooded hillsides.
