About this map

Lula and the surrounding Mississippi Delta landscape are defined by a complex network of bayous and remnant river channels. The town serves as a focal point near the confluence of Lula-Moon Lake Rd and Old Highway 61 S, marking a transition between the cultivated flats and the oxbow waters of Moon Lake. Small rural communities and agricultural hubs like Carter, Barbee, and Roseacres are scattered across the terrain, linked by a grid of local roads such as Lula Rich Rd and Birdie Rd.

The hydrology of the region is exceptionally detailed, featuring the winding Yazoo Pass and the Coldwater River along the eastern boundary. Numerous smaller bodies of water, including Muddy Bayou, Brady Bayou, and Haynes Lake, reflect the area's alluvial history. Several historical burial grounds, such as Bethlehem Cem, Barbee Cem, and Walton Cem, are positioned near these settlements, providing important reference points for genealogists and local historians documenting family landholdings in Coahoma and Tunica Counties.
