2012 Map of Lula

About this map

Lula anchors the northern portion of this Delta survey, where a grid of streets including 1st St and Perryman St meets the Lula Highway 61 Rd N. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the Yazoo Pass and the Coldwater River. These waterways, alongside oxbows like Moon Lake and Haynes Lake, dictated the settlement patterns of agricultural hamlets such as Barbee, Carter, and Roseacres. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the record, including Bethlehem Cem, Barbee Cem, and Walton Cem. The concentration of named bayous, from Phillips Bayou to Broad Bayou, illustrates the persistent challenge of drainage in this alluvial plain. Small clusters of development at Rich and Birdie highlight the early 21st-century footprint of these rural Mississippi communities.
