1957 Map of Philipp

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Philipp and the surrounding Yazoo-Mississippi Delta lowlands appear here in the mid-1950s, defined by an intricate network of waterways and flood control measures. The Tallahatchie River meanders through the landscape alongside engineering projects like the Tillatoba Cut-Off 1940 and Possum Bayou Cut-Off 1940, which transformed the natural drainage of the region. The map reveals a dense settlement pattern of small communities such as Effie, Tippo, and Leverett, many of which were centers of rural life organized around localized churches and schools.
