2012 Map of Saint Joseph

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 2012 survey, carving a complex path between Tensas Parish, Louisiana, and Claiborne County, Mississippi. At the center of the river's great arc lies Bruinsburg Bend, where the terrain transitions from the low-lying Panola Bar to the elevated Petit Gulf Hills. The town of Saint Joseph sits protected behind the Levee Rd, organized around a grid near the riverfront with landmarks like Saint Joseph Cem and Lakewood Cem defining its local geography. On the Mississippi side, the landscape is marked by ancient history and higher education, featuring the Windsor Mounds and Catledge Mounds alongside the campus of Alcorn State University. The map reveals an economy tied to both the water and the land, with numerous river access points such as Bondurant Landing and Gladstone Landing contrasted against agricultural features like Crop Duster road and a central Landing Strip.
