1970 Map of Glen Allan
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The sweeping oxbow of Lake Washington dominates this 1970 landscape, illustrating the dynamic hydrology of the Mississippi Delta. In the community of Glen Allan, the presence of a Water Tank and several landing strips like Cypress Gardens Landing Strip point to an agricultural economy heavily reliant on aerial crop management and local infrastructure. To the north, the Mississippi River creates the boundary at Kentucky Bend Bar, while the interior is dotted with historical markers of settlement including Magnolia Ch Cem and Guiding Star Ch Cem. The eastern edge is preserved by the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge, which borders ancient Indian Mounds, suggesting a deep timeline of human habitation along these alluvial banks. The network of bayous, such as Washington Bayou and Steele Bayou Road, defines the transport and drainage patterns essential to this riverfront region.
