1932 Map of Philipp

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Philipp sits at the southern bend of the Tallahatchie River, serving as a rail hub along the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley line. This 1930s landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta, where numerous oxbow lakes and brakes like Alligator Lake, Grassy Lake, and Whiting Brake reveal the river's historical wandering. The distribution of schools and churches across the Tallahatchie and Grenada county line indicates a rural society organized around small, localized community centers. Notable among these are The Whole Truth Ch and Rosenwald Sch, alongside family-named sites such as Cowart Sch and Jorden Hill Cem. The Eastern portion of the sheet transitions from the flat alluvial basin into higher ground near Oxberry, where the drainage pattern shifts toward Brushy Creek.
