About this map

Bogue Phalia and its winding tributaries define the agricultural character of Bolivar County during this late 1960s survey. The landscape is a network of drainage and transport, anchored by the town of Pace, where a dedicated Landing Strip and Pace Center Sch serve the local population. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the high density of rural churches and cemeteries such as Bellamy Chapel Cem, Smith and Williams Cem, and Rising Star Ch.

Beyond the primary settlements, the presence of the County Farm and scattered landmarks like the Lookout Tower near the western boundary suggest a managed, productive landscape. Waterways like Snake Creek, Little Bradford Bayou, and Jones Bayou partition the vast fields, while small communities like Victor appear at local crossroads. The inclusion of the Cleveland Municipal Airport on the southeastern edge highlights the increasing modernization of the Mississippi Delta's infrastructure.
