1963 Map of Dongola

About this map

Castor River and the engineered Diversion Channel dominate the southern lowlands of this Bollinger County landscape. In the early 1960s, the transition from the rugged northern hills to the flat alluvial plains is marked by significant water management features, including a prominent Levee and Crater Ditch. Small rural centers such as Dongola and Drum are central to the local geography, while the upland areas are dotted with community landmarks like New Sylvan Ch and Little Valley Ch. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds, including Mansker Cem and Kellion Cem. The natural drainage of Dry Creek and Malone Creek feeds into the wetlands of the Dark Cypress Swamp and the secluded Goose Pond, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region before further modern developments altered these bottomlands.
