1939 Map of Refuge

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, showing a critical transition era where massive engineering projects began to alter its historical course. The map documents significant man-made changes like the Tarpley Cut-Off (1935) and Leland Cut-Off (1933), while still recording the Meander Line 1830 that once defined the state boundary. On the eastern bank, the river city of Greenville serves as a hub for the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad, which snakes through the delta bottomlands to serve settlements like Metcalfe and Leland.
