1939 Map of Lorenzen

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The town of Rolling Fork serves as the central hub for this Delta landscape, where the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and Illinois Central railroads intersect. This 1930s survey reveals a region defined by its complex hydrology and agricultural drainage, with a network of bayous like Mound Bayou and Tillman Bayou feeding into Deer Creek. Settlement patterns follow these natural levees and rail lines closely, with established communities at Anguilla, Cary, and Egremont. Notable landmarks include Mont Helena and an Indian Mound near Grace, indicating deep historical layers of human habitation. To the east, the Big Sunflower River winds through the bottomlands, creating features such as Cypress Bend and Buck Point, while the western portion is dominated by the expansive Poindexter Island between Steele Bayou and the main channel flows.
