About this map

Moon Lake and the winding Yazoo Pass dominate this Delta landscape, illustrating the intricate hydrology where Coahoma, Tunica, and Quitman counties converge. The town of Lula sits as a primary hub for the local road network, including Old Hwy 61 and Lula - Highway 61 N, which cut through the agricultural flats. Smaller settlements like Rich, Roseacres, and Birdie are scattered across the quadrangle, often situated near the complex system of bayous and brakes that define the region's drainage.

Genealogists will find several family-named and community landmarks preserved here, including Bethlehem Cem, Barbee Cem, Walton Cem, and Hull Cem. The land is segmented by numerous named roads like Brahan Rd and Coahoma-Rich Rd, tracing the paths between old farmsteads and the banks of the Coldwater River. The presence of Grass Lake, Eagle Lake, and Locust Lake underscores the wet, low-lying character of the Mississippi Delta in this era of modern survey.
