2011 Map of Robinsonville

About this map

Robinsonville and the surrounding Mississippi Delta floodplain are defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River and the legacy of its former channels. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern casino-driven landscape of the Casino Strip Resort Blvd and Casino Center Dr, contrasting sharply with the deep-rooted agricultural and spiritual history of the region. Numerous family-named operations like Bennet Farm, Erwin Company Farm, and Flynn Farm dot the landscape alongside vital local landmarks. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of historical burial grounds, including Saint Peters Cemetery, Morning Star Cemetery, and Johnson Chapel Cemetery. The terrain is shaped by water features such as Old River Lake and Fish Lake Bayou, while engineering works like the Polk Landing Revetment and Porter Lake Dikes indicate the ongoing efforts to manage the river's influence on the Tunica County shoreline.
