1966 Map of Merigold
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Illinois Central corridor forms the spine of this Mississippi Delta landscape, connecting the agricultural hubs of Mound Bayou, Merigold, Renova, and the northern outskirts of Cleveland. This mid-1960s survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning from traditional farming toward specialized aquaculture, evidenced by the numerous Fish Farm operations scattered between Mound Bayou (the watercourse) and Lead Bayou. The terrain is punctuated by significant cultural sites, including a prominent Indian Mound and several cemeteries that serve as vital genealogical markers for the region, such as Lampton Chapel Cem and Indian Mounds Cem.
