About this map

The Mississippi River forms a dynamic boundary in this survey, defining the state line between Mississippi and Louisiana. The landscape is dominated by the river's serpentine path and the complex hydrology of the Delta, featuring the Old River Chute, Opossum Chute, and Jack Falls Canal. The settlement of Mayersville, the county seat of Issaquena County, is situated on the eastern bank alongside other river-adjacent locales like Millers Landing and Ashland.

The presence of numerous points and towheads, such as Wilson Point and Duncansby Towhead, illustrates the shifting nature of the riverbanks. Inland, the map documents a network of agricultural roads and drainage features including the New Valewood Ditch and Washington Bayou. Smaller communities such as Addie, Hopedale, and Cottonwood appear amidst the alluvial plains, providing a detailed look at the rural habitation patterns and land divisions of the mid-2010s in this traditional cotton-growing region.
