1966 Map of Ruleville
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Big Sunflower River and its meandering tributaries dominate this Sunflower County landscape, defining the layout of the Mississippi Delta’s plantation and rail country in the mid-1960s. The town of Ruleville serves as the central hub, situated along the Illinois Central railroad. This transportation corridor historically linked smaller agricultural outposts like Dockery, Cottondale, and Doddsville. The area’s genealogical record is deeply embedded in the land, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Lehrton Cem, Hillhouse Cem, and Moorhouse Cem scattered among the bayous.
