1986 Map of Rodney

About this map

Rodney stands as a focal point along the eastern bluffs of the Mississippi River, where the high ground of the loess hills meets the alluvial floodplain. This mid-1980s survey captures the landscape shortly after the designation of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which winds through the southern portion of the map near the confluence of the North Fork Coles Creek and South Fork Coles Creek. The geography is defined by a sharp contrast between the active Oil and Gas Fields in the uplands and the swampy lowlands of the river bend.
