1961 Map of Mossy Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The alluvial plains of the Mississippi Delta are defined here by the winding course of the Yazoo River and its intricate network of oxbow lakes, including Mossy Lake, Bee Lake, and Sky Lake. The landscape reflects a deeply established agricultural society in the early 1960s, where small settlements like Itta Bena and Swiftown serve as local hubs for a territory crisscrossed by the Columbus and Greenville railroad. An abundance of country churches, such as Zion Rock Ch and Bethlehem Ch, and cemeteries like McIntyre Cem, provides a detailed record of the rural communities that thrived between the river's bends.
