1998 Map of Mound
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
The Mississippi River and its intricate network of former channels define the landscape of Madison Parish, Louisiana. This map reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the river's movement, including several oxbow lakes such as Sandbank Lake, Texas Lake, Big Lake, and Long Lake. Ancient history is preserved at the Indian Mounds located near Coleman, while the local social fabric is traced through numerous community sites like St John Ch, Mt Moriah Ch No 2, and Solomon Temple. Settled areas like Thomastown and Mound are situated near Rattlesnake Ridge, suggesting early development was concentrated on the slightly higher ground above the wetlands. Transportation hubs like the Vicksburg Tallulah Regional Airport and several landing strips, such as the Cape Landing Strip, indicate the area's continued reliance on local aviation for reaching these river-adjacent properties.
