About this map

The Tallahatchie River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and seasonal wetlands in the early 1980s. The village of Money serves as a focal point along the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, situated near the banks of Money Bayou. This region is characterized by its complex hydrology, where features like McIntyre Scatters and Never Fail Lake illustrate the historical shifting of river channels.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Small settlements and landings such as Sandy Ridge, Ruby, and Powell Landing are documented alongside numerous burial grounds including Eagle Plantation Cem and Bernander Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Malmaison State Wildlife Management Area, showing the intersection of managed natural space and the long-standing agricultural and rail infrastructure of Leflore County.
