1988 Map of Eldorado

About this map

The Yazoo River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the transition from the low-lying wetlands of the Delta National Forest to the dissected uplands of the Yazoo and Warren county border. Small settlements like Eldorado and Russellville sit at the margins of these hills, while the community of Ballground is situated further west near Ballground Creek. The map documents a rural Mississippi economy shaped by natural resources and former transport lines, evidenced by a Gravel Pit and the path of an Old RR Grade cutting through the terrain. Extensive hydrological features such as The Basin, Collins Creek, and Corn House Creek define the drainage patterns of the area, illustrating the complex relationship between the floodplains and the surrounding elevations during the late twentieth century.
