1981 Map of Robinsonville

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Robinsonville and the agricultural lands of the Mississippi Delta are captured here in the early 1980s, defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River and the remnants of its former channels. The landscape is a network of bayous and brakes, including Hollywood Brake and Buck Island Bayou, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this floodplain. Historically significant for genealogists, the map identifies numerous rural congregations and resting places, such as St Peters Ch and its accompanying St Peters Cem, along with Mt Olive Cem and Rainey Cem. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts a straight line through the territory, passing through settlements like Bowdre and Penton. This rail corridor, running parallel to the river's path, highlights the transportation infrastructure that once supported the local cotton economy and small-town commerce along Commerce Road.
