USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the heart of this landscape, its tight meanders and oxbow brakes defining the geography of eastern Ashley County. The Missouri Pacific railroad runs a straight line through the alluvial plains, anchoring settlements like Portland and Sunshine to the regional transport network. This 1960s survey captures a rural environment organized around water and rail, where the bayou provided the drainage and the tracks provided the commerce.
