About this map

Hillhouse and Rochdale sit amidst the fertile delta plains of Bolivar County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of bayous and the rigid lines of agricultural management. The Hushpuckena River snakes along the eastern edge of the survey, mirroring the erratic curves of Yellow Bayou and Jones Bayou. These waterways served as the lifeblood for settlements like Duncan and Deeson, which grew along the drainage networks of the Mississippi floodplain.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across this landscape, including Jerusalem Cem near the Coahoma County line and Saint Joseph Cem situated along Alean Rd. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Watts Field and significant water features such as Moon Lake and Edward Bayou. Long stretches of the Levee Rd protect the low-lying fields of t25n r7w from the river's seasonal cycles, illustrating the engineering required to sustain these Delta communities.
