1908 Map of Hollywood

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Meandering waterways and seasonal wetlands define this 1908 survey of Tunica County, where the Tallahatchie Drainage Commission oversaw a landscape shaped by the shifting currents of the Mississippi Delta. The intricate network of bayous, including the prominent curves of Minton Bayou and Buck Island Bayou, illustrates a period when local navigation and water management were central to the region's development. Scattered throughout this alluvial plain are the gathering places of early twentieth-century rural life, such as Corinth Church, Oak Grove Church, and Moon Chapel. The map reveals the natural hydrology of the area before modern levee systems reached their full maturity, preserved in the detailed outlines of Jasper Lake and Fish Lake. This document represents a primary source for understanding the early drainage efforts and religious geography of the North Mississippi Delta.
