1965 Map of Inverness
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Illinois Central rails anchor the corridor between Inverness and Isola in this mid-1960s study of the Mississippi Delta. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Dawson Lake and the complex drainage of the Mound Bayou, Short Indian Bayou, and Jackson Bayou. Culturally, the map reveals a network of rural faith and community centers, including McGinnis Chapel, St Lawrence Ch, and Mt Center Ch. Traces of earlier habitation are evident at Mt Moriah Mound and an unnamed Indian Mound near the banks of Sky Lake. The map details a transition from rail-dependent agriculture to more modern infrastructure, noting the presence of the Lester Airstrip and numerous pipelines cutting through the alluvial plain.
