1983 Map of Rattlesnake Bayou

About this map

The delta lowlands of the Sunflower Co Leflore Co line are defined by a complex network of meandering waterways and drainage systems characteristic of this Mississippi region in the early 1980s. The Quiver River winds prominently through the landscape, flanked by smaller tributaries such as Dugan Bayou and Rattlesnake Bayou. This period of photography shows a landscape heavily managed for agriculture, where irrigation channels and elevated roads intersect the natural hydrology of oxbows like Cane Lake. The presence of the Neal Landing Strip in the northwest corner suggests the importance of crop dusting and aerial logistics in this rural farming economy, while the scattered dwellings and small bridges indicate a community deeply integrated with the river's path.
