About this map

The Tallahatchie Drainage Commission worked in coordination with Chief Engineer T.G. Dabney and the U.S. Geological Survey to document this intricate network of Delta waterways. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Buck Island Bayou and Minton Bayou, which carve through a terrain dotted with small lakes and seasonal drainage features. This 1908 survey captures the rural infrastructure of Tunica County before major modern agricultural transformations, highlighting the community anchors of the era.

Local social geography centers on isolated landmarks like Corinth Church, Oak Grove Church, and Moon Chapel, which served the residents living among the oxbows and bottomlands. Significant water bodies such as Jasper Lake and Jack Lake appear alongside numerous bayous including Whiteoak Bayou and Tee Bayou, illustrating the complex hydrology that the drainage commission sought to manage in the early twentieth century.
