1975 Map of Sardis SW

About this map

Batesville serves as the central hub of this orthophotomap, showing the town's mid-1970s footprint and its expansion toward the north and east. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Tallahatchie River, which meanders through the northern portion of the quadrangle. This aerial perspective, based on 1975 photography, provides a clear view of the agricultural patterns and wooded tracts that surround the growing municipality. The contrast between the grid-like residential blocks and the chaotic oxbows of the river highlights the geographic transition from the developed town center to the alluvial floodplains of the Delta's edge.
