1962 Map of Long Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Yazoo River and its complex network of oxbows and bayous dominate this delta landscape along the border of Mississippi and Louisiana. In the early 1960s, the region was undergoing significant infrastructure development, evidenced by the Vicksburg Industrial Harbor and an adjacent Railroad Project near the Diversion Canal. This transformation contrasts with the traditional river economy shown by several Ferries crossing the Yazoo near Pilgrims Rest Ch. The shifting course of the Mississippi River is documented through features like Paw Paw Island and the Paw Paw Chute, which reflect the dynamic hydrology of the parish and county lines. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Pleasant Valley Ch and small settlements like Halpino Lake, while the interior is filled with numerous water bodies including Taylor Lake, Alligator Lake, and Long Lake.
