About this map

Lula and the surrounding Delta landscape appear in high detail at the junction of Coahoma, Tunica, and Quitman counties. This region is defined by its complex network of sloughs and bayous, where the Coldwater River and the historic Yazoo Pass navigate a terrain shaped by ancient river migrations. The map reveals a settlement pattern tied to the fertile lowlands, with small communities like Rich, Birdie, and Roseacres situated among vast agricultural plots.

Genealogists can identify several local landmarks, including the Bethlehem Cem, Walton Cem, and Hull Cem, which are tucked away near water bodies like Moon Lake and Haynes Lake. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the grid of rural roads such as Lula Rich Rd and Coahoma Rich Rd, illustrating the connection between these small Mississippi townships and the surrounding bayous like Muddy Bayou and Black Bayou.
