1961 Map of Mossy Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Itta Bena and Moorhead anchor this 1961 survey of the Mississippi Delta, a landscape defined by its intricate river systems and fertile floodplains. The Yazoo River and Quiver River frame a region crisscrossed by bayous and oxbow lakes, such as Mossy Lake and Bee Lake. The rural economy of the era is evident in the dense network of small communities and family landmarks, including Colony Town, Sheppardtown, and Swiftown. The presence of numerous churches like Zion Rock Ch and Cypress Grove Ch, alongside scattered cemeteries such as McIntyre Cem, provides a detailed record of local genealogy and settlement patterns.
