1963 Map of Grand Gulf

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Grand Gulf and its storied landscape are defined by the shifting course of the Mississippi River, which separates Claiborne County, Mississippi, from the parishes of Louisiana. This 1963 survey documents a complex network of oxbow lakes and islands, including Yucatan Lake, Palmyra Lake, and the prominent Middle Ground Island. The area's deep ties to Civil War history are marked by the Grand Gulf Military Monument, situated near the riverbanks where an Old Railroad grade still traces the terrain toward the interior.
