1968 Map of Hollandale

About this map

Deer Creek and the Bogue Phalia wind through this fertile Mississippi Delta landscape, defining the settlement patterns of Washington County during the late 1960s. The town of Hollandale serves as the central hub, situated where the Illinois Central railroad corridor meets the water. The map documents a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Simmons Sch and several family or community burial grounds such as Magruder Cem, Bellamy Cem, and Huddleston Cem. Beyond the town limits, smaller communities like Estill, Empire, and Darlove are visible alongside specialized land uses, including a Fish Farm and the Hollandale Municipal Airport. Several Indian Mound sites are noted near the bayous, providing a glimpse into the ancient indigenous history that underlies the modern agricultural grid.
