1939 Map of Mayersville
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Mississippi River and its shifting channel define this 1930s landscape along the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. The map meticulously documents hydrological changes, including the Sarah Cut-Off 1936 and the much earlier Bunchs Cut-Off 1830, which left behind significant oxbow features like Lake Providence. On the Louisiana side, the town of Lake Providence serves as a hub, while across the water in Mississippi, the settlement of Mayersville sits protected behind an extensive levee system.
