1939 Map of Onward

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Yazoo River and its intricate network of bayous dominate this 1939 survey, revealing the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta before extensive modern levee systems were completed. Small railroad stops and agricultural landings such as Onward, Smedes, and Valley Park dot the Illinois Central line, which follows the natural high ground between the river and the swamps. The landscape is characterized by its numerous ancient waterways, including the Little Sunflower River, Cypress Bayou, and the crescent-shaped False River.
