1908 Map of Jonestown
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad corridor anchors this 1908 delta landscape, connecting the town of Jonestown with surrounding rural sidings and plantation settlements. Surveyed in cooperation with the Tallahatchie Drainage Commission, the map reveals an intricate network of ancient oxbows and waterways, including the massive Swan Lake and the winding Alcorn Brake. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Coldwater River and various bayous like Moore Bayou and Broad Bayou dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
